SDG Students Program Certificate
For recognition of your participation and action towards the SDGs, Hub members can receive the SDG Students Program Certificate, a non-credit certificate jointly developed by SDSN Youth, the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens and the SDG Academy. The certificate is signed by former Secretary-General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, as well as the current President of the SDSN and the Global Coordinator for SDSN Youth. Members meet the criteria for the certificate by attending SDG Students Program events, working on SDG Academy online courses, and engaging with us on various SDGs at York projects.
Sustainable Development Mentorship
Hub members can meet fellow students who share a passion for the Sustainable Development Goals, they network to share ideas, collaborate on solutions, and meet professionals working in sustainability.
