One Young World invites applications for the Lead2030 challenges, the world’s biggest prize fund for young leaders making an impact for the Sustainable Development Goals in 2020. Powered by some of the world’s leading businesses, the initiative finds, funds and accelerates SDG solutions created by founders under 30.
From ending extreme poverty to protecting our oceans, the Sustainable Development Goals are an ambitious plan to create a sustainable future.
To make this future a reality, we need a generation of young leaders who are meaningfully engaged with the Global Goals and are working purposefully to achieve them.
The first 10 Lead2030 Challenges sourced 2,300+ SDG solutions from more than 130 countries. The inaugural Lead2030 Challenge Winners were each awarded $50,000 in addition to 12 months of executive mentorship from their Challenge Partner to help amplify their impact as they tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues.
