The Problem

Today, over 4,000 student-led nonprofits exist in the U.S., but nearly 80% fade within a year, often driven by college applications rather than long-term aspirations. After graduation, running a nonprofit grows harder, with less than 1% of funding reaching youth organizations.

Our "Sophomore Solution"

College is a rare window of opportunity, a space before real-world pressures fully set in. That’s where TRIIBE comes in: personalized support for five sophomores each semester, affirming their path and sustaining their vision.

  1. Funding: $5000 cash prizes to scale impact
  2. Mentorship: Guidance from experienced leaders to optimize strategies
  3. Community: Opportunities to connect with other young changemakers
