DOT is a youth-led movement of daring social innovators who have the tools, knowledge, and networks to create opportunities and transform their own communities.

We support youth to become innovators and leaders, and to create and apply digital solutions that have positive impact in their communities.

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, with locally-managed offices in Ethiopia, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Rwanda, the United Kingdom, and Tanzania, we work in 25 countries as development innovators and catalysts.

Our growing network of thousands of young leaders has reached over 3 million people in marginalized communities, globally.
