Applicant
An applicant is anybody who has applied to become a candidate for a One Young World summit.
Candidate
A candidate is an applicant whose profile has impressed us enough to be uploaded onto our website, and who will be a delegate at the summit if they get the necessary sponsorship. Being a candidate displayed on our official website means that you will be supported with fundraising materials, and that sponsors can support your attendance at the summit directly through your profile.
Delegate
A delegate is a candidate who raised the sponsorship to attend the summit, and is thus going to be there. In the lead-up to the summit, delegates will be contacted with relevant information pertaining to summit content and opportunities.
Ambassador
An ambassador is someone who attended a summit as a delegate. Thus, all the delegates who were at the 2010 and 2011 summit are now ambassadors. Being an ambassador qualifies you for attendance at future summits, and means we will keep in touch between summits updating you with news from OYW HQ, as well as getting news from you on projects and work you've undertaken.
