At One Young World, we are committed to ensuring that the most impactful, innovative young leaders of our time comprise the One Young World Community.
We only develop and support young leaders who can demonstrate a proactive commitment to positively impacting their communities. This means we look for people who are doing the best they can, within their individual circumstances, to improve the lives of others, no matter their field of interest or expertise.
We are not just inclusive; we proactively welcome diversity - across every country and every sector. That’s why our year-round scholarships programme allows young people to attend our Summit entirely free, regardless of their financial situation, and gain lifetime membership to our Ambassador Community.
We directly fund scholarships and deliver more scholarships with support from governments, businesses, and civil society, including grassroots organisations that work in remote (and often overlooked) communities to ensure we have the broadest possible representation.
Scholarship Programmes covers:
- All travel to and from the Summit
- Visa costs and support
- Catering and accommodation
- Access to our Digital Summit
- Complimentary social return on investment (SROI) analysis
- Free access to regional events
- Free personalised year-round support from our Community Team
