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 decision-makers.
Lead a project
One of the most important parts 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.
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 at a webinar or Summit; enter the Young World Leader Awards.
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.
Young World Leader Awards
Young Leaders may enter competitions that recognise meaningful impact. Outstanding initiatives receive international recognition, media exposure and visibility during the United World Leaders Summits.
Impact, not ambition
Verified results for real people, the quality of the team, and what others can learn from the work.
Leaders and practitioners
Panels drawn from the United World Leaders community and experts in each field.
At the Summit
Awards are presented during the United World Leaders Summits, before an audience of leaders from government, enterprise and civil society.
Convenings
Webinars and conversations with former Heads of State and Government, regional gatherings, and the Summits of United World Leaders.
