Youth Leadership Award
Globethics’ vision is to promote ethical leadership for a just, inclusive and sustainable world. The first Globethics Youth Leadership Award was 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. Winning the Globethics Youth Leadership Award allows winners to build on and develop their initiatives.

Jury/Mentors and Selection Process
The Globethics Youth Leadership Award jury is composed of three independent members, selected to reflect diversity of geography, gender and other factors. Following the Youth Leadership Award ceremony, the three jury members become mentors who accompany and support the award winners in the growth of their changemaking initiatives.
Selection
The jury looks for applications from young leaders (individuals or groups) aged between 18 and 30 years of age who have a values-based approach and are invested in serving the common good through initiatives that they are already involved in leading and would like to develop and grow further. The initiatives have to be impactful, change-making, and related to one or more of the four Globethics priorities.
In addition, winners of the Award are selected by the jury based on criteria including,
- Contribution to achieving one or more of the Globethics priorities
- Proven change made as a result of their initiative
- Innovation in problem-solving
- Inclusive approach
- Scalability and replicability
From all the applicants, three finalists are selected by the jury of the Globethics Youth Leadership Award based on their applications.
The awards
Award winners will achieve recognition for their pioneering work and receive financial and mentoring support to upscale and to multiply the results of their project.
