Founding Partners

Launched in 2006, Adobe Youth Voices is the Adobe Foundation’s global signature philanthropy program. AYV supports young people in and out of school and encourages the use of cutting-edge multimedia tools to communicate and share their ideas, demonstrate their potential, and take action where they live. Students learn to investigate – and comment on – issues like fair labor, human rights, domestic violence and climate change using the same professional-level technology as some of the world’s best-known creative minds.

Adobe Youth Voices also gives educators the tools, training and resources they need to engage students in new ways that are relevant to their lives outside the classroom. The program offers comprehensive professional development in teaching strategies that incorporate cutting-edge digital tools.

The Adobe Youth Voices global network now includes 158 sites, grantees, and organizations, in 31 countries engaging over 15,000 youth and 500 educators in schools and out of school programs. The Adobe Foundation invests nearly $3 million per year in the AYV program, primarily through training, educational resources, and grants. The program also leverages software donations from Adobe Systems Incorporated.
