Our Mission

“To empower the next generation of global leaders by fostering innovative thinking, social responsibility, and entrepreneurial spirit.”

Our Vision

“We envision a global community where every youth is equipped with the skills, resources, and opportunities to lead transformative initiatives that positively impact society. “

Our Story

YouthCubed began with a simple yet powerful idea: to empower young people to become changemakers in their communities.

This vision was brought to life by Jaewon Choi, a high school student in Boston, who founded YouthCubed as a freshman in 2023. Jaewon recognized the immense potential within his peers and saw the need for a platform that could harness their creativity, innovation, and drive to make a difference.

Starting with a small group of like-minded students, YouthCubed quickly grew into a dynamic and inclusive community dedicated to fostering social responsibility and entrepreneurial spirit among youth. Our journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence and a commitment to providing resources, mentorship, and opportunities that enable young people to lead transformative initiatives.

From our early days in Boston to our expanding global reach, YouthCubed has remained steadfast in our mission to create a supportive environment where every young individual can thrive. We believe that by nurturing the talents and passions of youth, we can inspire a new generation of leaders who are equipped to address critical societal issues and drive meaningful change.

YouthCubed is proud to be a member organisation with the DMUN Foundation, an umbrella organization that aids us in our advocacy efforts, marketing, fundraising, and finances.
