About Future Leaders program 2022

Considering the arising issues of climate change around the globe, the objective of the Future Leaders Program 2022 is to produce future leaders in Climate Action & Sustainability who can choose to address climate-related causes around energy, water, farming, food, fast fashion, sustainable menstruation, climate migration, plastics, climate jobs, marine lives and more, the official press note said.

Launched in 2017, The Future Leaders Program by 1M1B is designed to help students develop their leadership by supporting them to find their passion and purpose through a framework to convert them into an actionable project aligned with UN SDGs while developing Industrial Revolution 4.0 through real-world projects that create real on-ground impact. 

In order to help students to navigate challenges and achieve positive impact, M1B1 assigns a personal mentor to the students. At the end of the program, students emerge as human-centric leaders who prioritize human values and morals over business and profits.

Manav Subodh, Managing Director of 1M1B says, “We need to shape a future that works for all of us by putting people first and empowering them. We need to create leaders who prioritize human morals and values over anything else. We need human-centric leaders to uphold humanity, use technology responsibly and create a difference. The 1M1B Future Leaders program, focussed on developing such leadership skills amongst today’s youths, is a step in this direction.”

The program selects top students based on Super 7 self-evaluation criteria and project works to participate in a 3-day trip to New York.

During the trip, students are given the opportunity to display their impact as youth advocates at the 1M1B Youth Summit at United Nations Headquarters in New York City. Students also get opportunity of talking about their work to diplomats, media, foundations, and influencers from across the world.

Over 120 1M1B youth from India have presented their work at the United Nations, New York. Additionally, the top students are provided other opportunities such as workplace experiences and micro-internships with organizations, interactions with global leaders, media coverage and international speaking opportunities.
