Opportunity Desk

Founded in 2012, Opportunity Desk (OD) is the leading digital media platform dedicated to connecting young individuals to educational resources and growth opportunities worldwide. Our mission is to empower youth by sharing valuable information that helps them exchange ideas and prepare for their futures. Opportunity Desk aims to make global experiences accessible to everyone by offering a range of opportunities, including study abroad programs, scholarships, training sessions, conferences, fellowships, grants, job openings, internships, and volunteer activities. We believe that everyone, regardless of their background, age, abilities, education, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, or economic situation, should have the chance to gain international experiences. In addition to providing opportunities, OD is passionate about showcasing the journeys and achievements of young changemakers. We offer mentoring, financial assistance, and a platform for their voices through our Mentorship Program, the annual Impact Challenge, and our Young Person of the Month feature. Since our launch, Opportunity Desk has connected with thousands of young people from over 200 countries. Our website attracts more than 1,000,000 views each month, and we engage with over 500,000 followers across our social media channels. What sets us apart from other youth opportunity platforms is our commitment to working closely with our audience, offering practical advice, direct support, and guidance to help them succeed.
