Youth Leaders Are Changing the World

The world is changing, and the younger generations are at the forefront of this change. 

Youth and young adults are proving that age is just a number, and they can make a significant impact as leaders. They are taking up leadership positions in various fields, making bold decisions, and leading the way toward a brighter future.

One example of a young leader making an impact is Malala Yousafzai. At just 17, Malala became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for her activism and advocacy for girls' education. She survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban in 2012 and continues to fight for education and women's rights globally.

Another young leader making an impact is Greta Thunberg. Greta, a 19-year-old climate activist, started a global movement for climate action by organizing school strikes. Her activism has led to global awareness and action on climate change, and she has addressed world leaders at the United Nations Climate Summit.

In the business world, 26-year-old Andrew Yang made waves during the 2020 United States presidential election with his innovative policies, including universal basic income. Although he didn't win the nomination, his ideas continue to influence policy discussions and debates on economic inequality.

Furthermore, young people are leading in the technology industry. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba Group, started the company when he was just 34, and it is now one of the world's largest e-commerce platforms. At 27, Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook, now one of the most influential social media platforms globally.

The impact of young leaders is not limited to individuals; it also extends to communities. For instance, at just 17 years old, Autumn Peltier became a leading advocate for clean water in indigenous communities in Canada. Her activism and advocacy have led to policy changes, and she has addressed the United Nations General Assembly.

Young people are making a significant impact as leaders in various fields, from activism to business and technology. They are breaking barriers, challenging the status quo, and leading the way toward a better future. These young leaders are an inspiration to their peers and demonstrate that age is not a barrier to leadership and making a difference in the world.
