Deloitte and One Young World

Our partnership develops young professionals into leaders who can solve the world’s toughest challenges.

About Deloitte and OYW partnership 

One Young World, a not for profit, annually convenes a global summit with over 2000 of the brightest young leaders from around the world and empowers them to create a positive impact. A once in a lifetime opportunity, the young leaders learn how to make a difference, challenge thinking, develop leadership skills and build their networks globally. 

At Deloitte, we believe we have a responsibility to be a force for good and help lead the way on the increasingly complex challenges society faces today. Our OYW partnership develops young professionals into leaders who can address global matters.

The next Summit is in Montréal, Canada, from 18-21 September 2024, where Deloitte will be the opening ceremony co-principal partner. Our OYW delegates from over 30 countries are ready to solve the world’s toughest challenges.

Lead2030 Challenge: helping build a better, more sustainable future, for both people and planet

This year, Deloitte is proudly sponsoring two OYW Lead2030 Challenges. For the fifth time, Deloitte is supporting innovative, youth-led initiatives that help make an impact toward  addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4—Quality Education. Through this challenge we invest in solutions focused on access to education, skills development, lifelong learning, and entrepreneurship.

Deloitte is also proudly supporting a challenge focused on SDG 13—Climate Action. This challenge aims to address climate change in bold, meaningful, innovative ways—from empowering local people undertaking climate action to strengthening resilience.
