Are you a young leader from The Pacific? Applications are open for Leading The Pacific Scholarship 2022! You could attend the One Young World Summit 2022 in Tokyo from 16 – 19 May through our flagship Scholarship.
The Leading The Pacific Scholarship is an initiative designed to ensure that outstanding young people from the Pacific region are represented at the One Young World Summit 2022 in Tokyo.

Across the entire Pacific Scholarship, environmental issues dominate the agenda. Locally, communities are struggling against the challenges of waste management, deforestation, overfishing, and the after-effects of nuclear testing. These threats will soon render many of the Pacific Islands uninhabitable, but the regions receive negligible coverage in the global news. Leaders have struggled to connect this diverse collection of islands, but Pacific societies have prospered within their remote locations and have the potential to unite and drive change within the region.
In the midst of these challenges, it is young leaders who are devising meaningful strategies to build a more sustainable region. Are you one of those leaders? If so, One Young World is looking to bring you to the next annual Summit.
