Young Social Innovators (YSI) is a "social awareness and active citizenship and education programme" for 15- to 18-year-old teens in Ireland. Its main goal is to get young people (15-18yrs) involved in action which helps improve the lives of others in their community.[citation needed] YSI involves thousands of young people in Ireland each year in hundreds of projects and social enterprises which are youth-led, team-based and action-focused.[citation needed] Each year, each YSI team is invited to present their project at the YSI Speak Out Regional fora. A national Showcase of Young Social Innovators takes place in May each year where thousands of young social innovators come together and showcase their projects.[citation needed]
