This yearโ€™s election attracted nearly 300 applications from exceptional Award holders around the world, and we were blown away by the deep commitment to youth development, non-formal education, and global citizenship that these brilliant young people had! After a collaborative global process, eight outstanding young leaders were elected to serve as part of our International Council steering us into the future.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all applicants for their inspiring contributions, to the voters for their engagement, and to our National Award Offices and review committee members for their vital role in bringing this process to life.
