Lead, compete, convene.
Three ways Young Leaders put their work in front of the world: projects they lead, awards that recognise the best of them, and the convenings where they meet leaders.
Lead a project
One of the most exciting aspects of the initiative is the opportunity to become a Young Leader: to initiate and lead a meaningful project and to invite other young people to join it.
Global sustainability projects
Organize community environmental action, or start a local sustainability campaign.
Tech for good
Host coding workshops, or develop technology-based solutions to social challenges.
Social entrepreneurship
Build a venture that uplifts your community and inspires others.
Propose
Describe the problem, the people it affects and what you will do in the first ninety days.
Recruit
Invite Young Leaders from your region and beyond to join your team.
Deliver
Work with mentors and the network; report results, including what did not work.
Share
Present your work, and enter the Young World Leader Awards.
Young World Leader Awards
Young Leaders may take part in competitions designed to recognise meaningful impact. Outstanding initiatives receive Young World Leader Awards, presented during United World Leaders Summits, with international recognition, media exposure and visibility for the impact they have created.
Impact, not ambition
Results for real people, the quality of the team, and what others can learn from the work.
At the Summit
Awards are presented during the United World Leaders Summits.
Convenings
Webinars with former Heads of State, open to students, young professionals, young entrepreneurs and young leaders worldwide, and United World Leaders events and summits.
