About Us

Mission & Vision

Connecting youth potential for Poland’s future

Young Think is an apolitical student think tank that channels the intellectual potential of Polish students — both at home and abroad — into concrete public policy proposals. We are a community of ambitious students and graduates, from the University of Warsaw to Harvard and Sciences Po, united by a vision of a Poland that fully harnesses its citizens' talents. We operate on a policy crowdsourcing model, collectively developing ideas with the support of experienced mentors.

What We Do?

From knowledge to impact

We support students in developing policy papers — concrete proposals addressing key public challenges. Our flagship initiatives are Young Think Policy Briefs and the national ideathon Young Think Policy Sprint. By combining the fresh perspectives of young people with mentors' expertise, we turn the potential of young Poles into real solutions to pressing social and economic issues — work recognized by state institutions including the Prime Minister's Chancellery and the President's Youth Council.
