EMPOWERING TOMORROW’S LEADERS

TO SHAPE A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

The Global Youth Excellence & Leadership Program (GYEL) emerged a decade ago as a multilateral and multistakeholder initiative of intergovernmental organizations, permanent observers, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and organizations with official special consultative status in the U.N. Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

United Nations stakeholders had key insights: while the UN system primarily focuses its resources on supporting individuals from the most vulnerable populations and underserved communities—particularly children lacking access to fundamental human rights such as clean water, adequate nutrition, healthcare, education, and sanitation—there remains a critical need for complementary programs serving talented students from underprivileged and under-resourced backgrounds.

FEEDINGNY PARTNERSHIP WITH GYEL

Through this partnership, high school students in the GYEL program will have the opportunity to directly support FeedingNY’s mission—volunteering, leading food drives, and designing service projects that create real impact in their communities. Together, we’re building a movement where young leaders take action to make food equity a reality for all.
