The Global Youth Excellence and Leadership Program (GYEL) is a multilateral and multistakeholder initiative of intergovernmental organizations, permanent observers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and organizations with official special consultative status in the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It functions within the framework and ecosystem of the United Nations system and operates under the auspices of members and organizations within the United Nations system.
The primary goal of GYEL is to foster excellence and leadership among global youth through a variety of strategic political and social initiatives. For the past 10 years, the program has focused on preparing individuals to become future leaders who are equipped to address the complex challenges of an increasingly interconnected world.
