Our videos. Our people and partners talk about our work towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

On a biennial basis, the Office of the UN Secretary-General’s Envoy on Youth is proud to recognize outstanding young leaders from across various sectors for their agency, courage and ingenuity in finding lasting solutions to the world’s greatest challenges. Becoming a Young Leader is a title of recognition from the United Nations for young people who are excelling in their contributions to helping deliver on the SDGs in their communities. Throughout the two-year term, these 17 Young Leaders will engage young people for the 2030 Agenda, not only through their existing initiatives, platforms and networks but through advocacy opportunities with the United Nations and our partners. Applications are now open here: https://un.submittable.com/submit/218118/apply-to-be-a-young-leader-2022, and will close on 31 March 2022.
