GYSIL

The Global Youth Sustainability & Impact Leaders (GYSIL) is a leadership program empowered by the Humanitarian Focus Foundation and The Institute of Public Policy and Diplomacy Research. The program collaborates with the UN Global Communication (UNDGC) mission to support the UN 2030 Agenda by doing advocacy work through education to build capabilities. The program brings outstanding youth leaders who are committed to solving social and development problems in their communities by taking action and creating an impact.

 

During the 6-month virtual program, 20 leaders from 20 countries will acquire the knowledge and skills to advance their work and impact.

 

Through the GYSIL, beneficiaries will have access to experienced development professionals, connect to global opportunities, build their networks, and, ultimately, accelerate their careers.
