One Young World Summit Leading Africa Fully Funded Scholarships 2024 (Montreal, Canada)

The 2024 One Young World Summit Leading Africa Scholarships are now accepting applications. Are you an African young leader? With the flagship scholarship, you might go to the One Young World Summit 2024 in Montréal, Tiohtiáke, from September 18–21.

Every year, the One Young World Summit brings together 2,000 young leaders from more than 190 nations to brainstorm solutions for the major problems facing the globe. Leaders in politics, business, and charity like Mary Robinson, Paul Polman, and Justin Trudeau inspire them, and they establish connections and exchange knowledge.

After serving as One Young World Ambassadors for their home towns and organizations, delegates gain access to a worldwide network of over 15,500 young leaders who can help them accelerate ongoing social impact projects or launch new ones.

The goal of One Young World is to recognize the most significant young leaders from each nation on the planet. Thanks to scholarships, deserving young people can participate based on their demonstrated leadership skills and capacity to effect change in their nation of origin. The goal of Leading Africa is to guarantee that exceptional African youth are represented at One Young World Summits.

Africa’s youth are coming up with innovative plans to create a more sustainable continent. Count yourself among those leaders. If so, One Young World hopes to have you attend our upcoming annual summit.
