Globethics Youth Leadership Award 2024 (up to $15,000)
Globethics’ vision is to promote ethical leadership for a just, inclusive and sustainable world. The first Globethics Youth Leadership Award is launched in our 20th Anniversary year to further that vision in the next 20 years by recognising, honouring and empowering young leaders from around the world striving for positive, ethical change in their community, institution, society, nation, region or even globally.
Young leaders who have designed and implemented initiatives that have produced real, proven societal impact and positive change in areas related to one or more of the four Globethics priorities are invited to apply for the Globethics Youth Leadership Award.
