At One Young World, we believe that the most powerful leadership transcends borders, beliefs, and backgrounds. Our values are the foundation of everything we do and are central to our global leadership development approach. We are building a future led by ethical, purpose-driven changemakers who embody next-generation leadership values, responsible leadership, and inclusive leadership values.
These principles are more than ideals. They are actionable commitments that form the backbone of the One Young World Leadership Charter. Rooted in cultures from around the world, they guide how young leaders think, act, and collaborate to create sustainable impact.
The Seven Principles
Drawing on deep-rooted wisdom from across the world and our Community, the One Young World Leadership Charter is a unifying statement of next-generation leadership values that resonate across cultures and inspire responsible leadership. It affirms our belief that humanity shares core principles which transcend political barriers and drive our collective commitment to a fair, inclusive, and sustainable world.
These Seven Principles anchor our global leadership development efforts, ensuring that every leader we support upholds inclusive leadership values and takes meaningful, ethical action.
Living the One Young World Leadership Charter
From our team and Partners to our global Ambassador network, the One Young World Leadership Charter is embedded in all our global leadership development programmes, international collaborations, and Summit culture. Whether you’re a Delegate at the Summit, a Coordinator in your region, or a Partner co-creating impact, we commit to rising to the highest standards of responsible leadership while cultivating inclusive leadership values at every stage.
Our mission is to ensure that young leaders everywhere live out these leadership values daily: leading with integrity, creating positive change, and building a better world for generations to come.
