UN Sustainable Development Goals

UN Sustainable Development Goals

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a universal roadmap for building a more peaceful, equitable, and sustainable world. Adopted by the United Nations, these goals address challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, education, and environmental protection — all of which require active participation from young people.

At Captains Social Foundation, we integrate the SDGs into our volunteering model, empowering young people to understand global challenges through hyper-local action. By engaging in hands-on community initiatives, youth develop civic responsibility, essential skills, and the confidence to contribute meaningfully to a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Our SDG-linked volunteering actions ensure that every young person can be a changemaker — taking small steps that create big impact.
