Origins of the World 2030 Challenge

The Global Youth Congress (GYC) International Forum 2025 is more than just an event—it's a call to action. The origins of this forum lie in a stark reality: we are not on track to meet the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. With only a fraction of target goals being met, the urgency for a new generation of leaders to step up has never been greater.

The GYC was founded on the belief that young people are not just leaders of tomorrow, but leaders of today. Our mission is to equip them with the tools, skills, and networks they need to tackle the pressing issues of our time—from climate change to social inequality. The International Forum in Orlando is the culmination of this mission, bringing together the brightest minds from across the globe to collaborate, innovate, and lead.

So, are you ready to join us in Orlando and take the first step towards global leadership?
