IOC Young Leaders Programme

The IOC Young Leaders programme, launched in 2016, empowers talents to leverage the power of sport to make a positive difference in their communities. 25 Young Leaders are being selected every two years for a four year period.

With the support of seed-funding from the IOC and a network of mentors, these inspiring young people have so far delivered over 140 initiatives reaching over 30,000 individual participants. As agents of Olympism they promote the Olympic values and principles of Olympism 365 days a year, spreading the message of sport for good.

18 IOC Young Leaders are currently serving on various IOC Commissions.
