Description

OECD Youthwise

Call for applications now open

The OECD’s Youth Advisory Board is made up of exceptional young people aged 18?30 who bring their perspectives and ideas to the OECD.

Following the success of our first Youthwise class, we are excited to be launching Youthwise 2022!

The consequences of COVID-19 have accelerated pre-existing issues for young people and it will take a joint effort across sectors, stakeholders and generations to solve them. In line with the OECD’s policy priorities, Youthwise members will focus on how we can build an inclusive and green future for & with young people.
