We convene the Young Global Leaders Community, an international network of exceptional individuals committed to shaping the future. Through immersive learning, global convenings and deep peer exchange, we promote a culture of shared growth and forward-looking dialogue.
As part of their commitment to responsible leadership, YGL community members have come together to define principles for interacting with one another and in the world.
We take time to listen and support each other at a deep, human level. We go out of our way to make a difference to one another's work. We are inclusive. We challenge each other and make diversity a source of strength.
We bring our real selves to the community. We open up. We seek humility and acknowledge what we do not know, so we can learn from others. We value each other as individuals, beyond the roles we occupy.
We communicate respect, even when we deeply disagree. We earn trust and honor the commitments we make to one another. We strive for transparency in the way we operate and hold each other accountable.
We operate as a force for good and stand for something larger than ourselves. We imagine a better world and take personal responsibility to act. We capitalize on diverse talents and networks to achieve more together than we could alone.
Each year, we welcome over 100 new members into a three-year development programme that includes academic modules, thematic gatherings and opportunities to contribute to strategic initiatives aligned with the World Economic Forum’s mission.
At the heart of our work is the belief that complexity is not a barrier – it’s an opportunity for those ready to meet it with clarity and collaboration.
