Since the creation of the programme in 2016, IOC Young Leaders have delivered over 160 sport-led projects promoting education and livelihoods, equality and inclusion, health, peace-building and sustainability, directly benefitting more than 37,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After successfully completing the Learning Sprint, a candidate becomes eligible to apply for the IOC Young Leaders Programme. Applications will be open from 18 November to 16 December 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The selected participants will be supported by the IOC and a network of mentors in the development of their grassroots projects. Each of them will receive a total amount of CHF 10,000 seed-funding delivered over the four years, as well as access to monthly expert-led workshops, global gatherings, coaching, networking opportunities and dedicated support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A community of sporting innovators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe IOC Young Leaders programme has been a huge help,\u201d explained current IOC Young Leader Sof\u00eda Ar\u00e9valo<\/a> from Mexico. \u201cFinancially, it helped me in many aspects, including getting my certification for organising sports events. Furthermore, I think the connections with Young Leaders from around the world who are trying to make a better world through sport has also broadened my perspective. It is an honour to have this opportunity \u2013 I know it is going to help many people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current IOC Young Leader Isaiah Kioiloglou from Greece<\/a> commented on the programme support: \u201cThe IOC Young Leaders Programme was ideal for me. The training provided is so helpful. They are helping us slowly but surely secure a sustainable social business, as we have access to experienced mentors, lecturers and people who are there to support us, including the programme\u2019s head managers. The whole experience wouldn\u2019t be the same without them. Besides that, a very important part is seeing how people do it in other countries. We share the experience of being entrepreneurs in different cultures. It\u2019s really amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
