Every competition, internship, MUN and scholarship worth applying to, in one place โ€” each one checked by a person before it appears. Save what interests you. Track what you've applied to. Stop losing deadlines in your notes app. WHAT'S INSIDE Explore Browse opportunities by what you actually care about โ€” competitions, internships, MUN, volunteering, research, STEM, startups, clubs and scholarships. Filter by field and country, search by name, and put any two side by side to compare them properly before you commit. Closing Soon The deadlines coming up in the next fortnight, in order, on your home screen. Add any of them to your phone's calendar in one tap. Your applications Mark something applied and it moves into your own pipeline: applied, reviewing, got in, or not this time. See how long each one has been sitting. No more wondering whether you actually sent that form in March. Youth Tracker A study timer that runs on your lock screen while you work, a streak that counts the days you showed up, a seven-day chart, and a grade log so you can see whether the hours are turning into results. Youth Teach Live lessons from students who've aced it. Join with a six-character code or a link, raise your hand, chat, and speak when the tutor lets you. The tutor admits every student, and anyone in a lesson can be reported or blocked from inside it. Youth Connect An opt-in directory of other students โ€” find people studying what you study. Nobody appears unless they switch themselves on, every profile can be reported, and you can block anyone in one tap. WHO IT'S FOR Students in Saudi Arabia and the wider region who are trying to build something before university and are tired of finding out about opportunities the week after they closed. HONEST ABOUT WHERE WE ARE Youthlinker is new. The list is curated rather than enormous โ€” every listing is read by a person before it goes live, which is the whole point. It grows every week, and if you find something worth adding you can submit it from inside the app. Everything is free. Every feature, no limits, nothing to buy. If that ever changes you'll hear it from us first, and nothing you're using today gets taken away without warning. Questions: youthlinker.com/support
