The Z Zurich Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the lives of vulnerable populations, with a strong focus on prevention. It concentrates on three critical areas: climate change adaptation, mental well-being improvement, and social equity advancement. These challenges are becoming more urgent and complex, affecting individuals, communities, and society at large.

The Foundation’s efforts aim to help disadvantaged communities adapt to climate change, create a global network to improve the mental health of young people, and equip youth with the education, skills, and resources necessary to reach their full potential. The Foundation believes that meaningful change comes from connecting experts with those in need of support, advocating for change, and addressing societal issues from the ground up.

As part of its mission, the Z Zurich Foundation is proud to support transformative leaders by offering them the opportunity to attend the One Young World Summit, the largest global gathering of young leaders.

The Z Zurich Foundation Scholarship 2025 will select 25 young leaders involved in projects related to mental health, climate resilience, or social equity, to attend the One Young World Summit 2025 in Munich, Germany, from November 3–6.

For young leaders focused on any of these essential causes, this scholarship offers an excellent opportunity.
