If you're over 25 and want to make a difference in the climate space, we invite you to volunteer your time and expertise with the Young Climate Prize.

Each cycle, The World Around brings together a global community of supporters who play a vital role in championing our finalists. Volunteers contribute in many ways: offering guidance and mentorship, sharing knowledge and networks, supporting program delivery, and helping young innovators strengthen and scale their work.

Whether you can commit to ongoing mentorship or contribute in other meaningful ways, your involvement directly shapes the experience and impact of the program.

We're currently building our volunteer network for Cycle 03, beginning September 2026. If you're interested in getting involved, please register below.

For individuals and philanthropists who want to actively support our mission, membership is the most meaningful way to get involved. Starting from a tax-deductible $21/month, you'll be helping make architecture and design accessible to all — and directly powering the Young Climate Prize.

Join The World Around Circles in 2026 and become part of a global community of like-minded individuals passionate about design, culture, and climate. Members enjoy year-round access to our world and the people shaping it.

Membership includes:

• Priority seating at our programs
• Invitations to local and international studio visits
• Private tours
• After-parties and networking events

We work with forward-thinking brands and organisations who share our belief in architecture and design as tools for planetary resilience. A partnership with The World Around means direct investment in the Young Climate Prize — supporting logistics, training, and travel for winners — while aligning your brand with one of the most compelling climate initiatives in the design world.

Partners gain meaningful visibility across our platforms and events, direct access to our cohort of emerging innovators, and a seat at the table within an international network of curators, institutions, and cultural leaders.

We tailor every partnership to fit your goals. Get in touch to start the conversation.
