One Young World is a UK-based charity that brings together the brightest young leaders from around the world, empowering them to make lasting connections to create positive change.
To this end, they hold an annual Summit where the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations come together, acting as the One Young World Counsellors. At the Summit, delegates debate, formulate and share innovative solutions to the pressing issues facing the world.
This year's 2022 edition will take place in Manchester, United Kingdom and more than 2,000 young leaders from over 190 countries will be attending the Summit. The organisation is looking for volunteers to represent Manchester as the host city, supporting these valuable individuals and showing them Manchester's best hospitality. Some of these young leaders will never have left their home country, and for others, this will be their first visit to Manchester.
