At One Young World, we are committed to partnering, engaging and supporting Indigenous and First Nations young leaders worldwide. We believe that meaningful change must be co-designed and led with, not for, Indigenous communities.
We are proud to introduce to you our Indigenous Advisory Circle Members for 2025/2026. The Indigenous Advisory Circle welcomes 26 remarkable Indigenous representatives selected for their insight, leadership and commitment to Indigenous rights and community-led impact.
A core part of our mission is listening to and amplifying Indigenous voices — young leaders whose expertise, lived experience and cultural knowledge are crucial to shaping a more equitable future.
Along with our new Indigenous Strategy 2025/26, which sets out our approach to deepening our engagement with Indigenous and First Nations young leaders and partners across the world, their guidance will shape how One Young World works with Indigenous communities worldwide, ensuring cultural awareness and respect, sustainability and real influence across our Summit, programmes and platforms.
