One Young World identifies and connects young leaders from every country through our Partner organisations and scholarship programmes. These young leaders join our Community as Ambassadors. One Young World contributes to their development by:
INSPIRING them to increase their social impact
BUILDING their skills and capacity
ELEVATING their profiles locally and globally
Applying this theory, we help create a generation of young leaders with integrity, who have the ability and resources to drive positive change

2022 Programme
Rebuilding Communities Fund
One Young World was proud to launch our Rebuilding Communities Fund with the support of close Partner, the Brandtech Group, at the Festival of Creativity, Cannes, France.
The fund gave $100,000 to four selected Ambassadors, who each received $25,000.
The selected Ambassadors pitched their initiative to an audience of senior marketing executives, in turn receiving guidance on how to scale their enterprises and grow their reach.

2022 Programme
Action Accelerator
The Action Accelerator was created by four young leaders who, upon meeting at the One Young World Summit Bogotá, 2017, quickly identified an opportunity to help fellow young leaders move from inspiration to action across the UN Global Goals.
In 2021, after three years of developing its structure and content, the team launched the exclusive programme for Munich 2021 Delegates.
With support from Ambassador PJ Mistry, founder of the Action Accelerator, One Young World launched the programme globally for all of our Community, with 427 Ambassadors participating in the six-month programme
