Youth are already having an impact on community change. Youth-led non-profit organizations (YLO) empower young citizens to design and implement effective, innovative, and sustainable development initiatives. In this illustrative case study, we highlight the ability of Lebanese youth-led organizations to engage in service innovation and promote the advancement of sustainable development objectives for their society. We present examples of social innovation and sustainable development ecosystems. Finally, we frame our approach with a service-dominant logic as an interpretative framework and provide illustrative cases to draw on our learnings and articulate the role of YLOs in defining the agenda for sustainable development in inclusive service innovation.
