YOUTH
REVOLUTION.
FOR GOOD.
We’re hiring!

2. About rivet

3. There are 1.8 billion young people,
ready to change the world.
Young people don’t lack talent or imagination.
They lack access to resources.
As our world faces existential challenges, young people
represent our greatest untapped resource for innovative and
collaborative problem-solving.
Young people are rising up and leading change in
revolutionary ways. While young leaders like Greta Thunberg
and Emma Gonzalez make headlines, they represent only a
sliver of this generation.. Millions more have vision and
solutions, but lack the resources to bring their ideas to fruition.
