Young leaders are breaking cycles of inequality: What can institutions learn from their leadership?

Tuesday, September 22, 12:00pm - 2:30pm (EDT)

Link:

Time shown in -04:00 America, New York

Join Global Fund for Children during UNGA81 for a series of curated conversations bringing young leaders into direct dialogue with funders, policymakers, and civil society leaders. Together, they will share lessons, challenge assumptions, and examine what it takes to break generational cycles of inequality and build more inclusive communities.

Too often, the young people leading change in their communities and those shaping funding, policy, and global agendas operate in separate spaces. This event creates a rare opportunity to bring those perspectives together and explore what becomes possible when lived experience, local knowledge, and institutional influence meet as equals.

What to expect:

Fireside conversations between young leaders and institutional decision-makers
Honest dialogue on participation, trust, and systems change
Opportunities to connect with peers committed to advancing youth-led change

Event timings (New York City):

11:45am: Please arrive early for a prompt 12:00pm start
12:00pm–2:00pm: Event programme
2:00pm–2:30pm: Networking and refreshments
