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.

One Young World Sustainability Pledge

One Young World endeavours to ensure its Summit is accessible to all. We are committed to maximising the diversity and inclusiveness of Delegates, Speakers and Partners.
We will collaborate with our global community of Delegates, Ambassadors and Partners, to work towards a sustainable future for society, to address social and environmental issues, and thus enhance the quality of life throughout the world.
One Young World is built on respecting and embracing diverse cultures and values, and will contribute to the development of the local regions in which it operates. With its global reach, One Young World has a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy following each Summit.
We understand the impact of our business activities on the environment and society, and will work with our suppliers and partners to promote socially responsible procurement.
Toward achieving a sustainable society, we will strive to develop our Summit through the creation of environmental value. For this purpose, we will address environmental challenges through our business activities and will expand our environmental initiatives based on collaboration with people we work with.
