About One Young World
We exist to develop young leaders who are taking action to solve the world’s big challenges. Our vision is a world where leaders with integrity are empowered to build a fair, sustainable future for all. We achieve this by:
- Inspiring young leaders to increase their impact
- Building young leaders’ expertise and capacity to act
- Elevating young leaders’ profiles locally and globally
It all begins with our annual Summit – the beating heart of what we are about. For young leaders, this is the landmark event of the year. It is a chance for the individuals responsible for shaping the future of our world, to come together to confront the biggest challenges facing humanity. The Summit is the ultimate place to be inspired, share learnings, and connect.
But the Summit is not just a life-changing four-day experience, it is just the start of every attendee’s journey with us. Every leader who attends leaves the Summit as a One Young World Ambassador and a valued member of our global community. This is a lifelong membership to one of the most incredible networks in the world.
Our global Community is a community like no other. When we say global, that’s exactly what we mean. It comprises 15,200+ young leaders, partners, and supporters from over 196 countries, spanning every sector and industry. It is comprised of activists, humanitarians, world-leaders, business-leaders, thought-leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians, and innovators.
We partner with 180+ global businesses, NGOs, and educational institutions. Leading companies from every sector make One Young World an integral part of their global talent development, retention, and attraction. They also sponsor and support delegations of fully-funded scholars who are selected for demonstrating outstanding leadership and track records of impact in creating a fair, sustainable future for all.
Every year, we produce an Impact Report to analyse and summarise the social impact of our programmes and our Community.
