Youth Development Labs [YLabs] is a leading global design and research organization working to amplify youth power, agency, and opportunity. 

YLabs is a team of physicians, designers, economists, developers, public health professionals, and educators. They bring a unique mix of human-centered design, adolescent health, outcome evaluation, and implementation know-how to the global problems facing youth. 

YLabs was founded at the Harvard Innovation Lab in 2016 in response to a need for innovation in partnership with youth. Co-founders Rebecca Hope, Shannon Milroy, and Majdi Osman saw that despite impressive global reductions in child mortality over recent decades, there had been little improvement in the health and survival of young people globally.
