YGL as a foundation invests in enriching leaders’ insight and capacity to realize sustainable economies and societies. It shares their stories to illuminate what leadership could and should look like across the world. In turn, with enhanced knowledge, tools, and purpose, YGLs assume more high-impact leadership positions and have a more pronounced effect on the world.

Together, they accomplish more than they might otherwise.
