Reverse Mentorship Programs bridge generational gaps to address Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus challenges by pairing young professionals with seasoned experts for mutual learning and collaborative innovation. Key initiatives include the Young Innovators Program, which empowers recent graduates and early-career researchers through mentorship from experienced leaders, and the Seasoned Experts Initiative, where senior professionals engage with younger mentors to stay updated on emerging technologies. Mutual Learning Labs foster cross-generational teams to co-create solutions, while Community Resilience Builders support grassroots projects with grants and capacity-building workshops. Collaborative Hackathons bring mixed teams together to solve WEF challenges in intensive, interactive environments, culminating in a final demo day where participants showcase their solutions, attract investment, and build cross-sector partnerships. These programs offer mentorship, resources, and collaborative opportunities, combining fresh perspectives with seasoned expertise to drive innovation, enhance community resilience, and promote sustainable development for a sustainable and equitable future
