Generation Connect Program – International Telecommunication Union (ITU)
29 MAR 2025
The Generation Connect Young Envoys (GCYE) are young leaders nominated by Member States and selected by the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau. They serve as a global volunteer network aimed at enhancing youth participation in digital transformation by supporting ICT initiatives at national, regional, and international levels. They bridge local needs with global priorities, transforming them into community initiatives that support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Their contributions reflect their personal views rather than official positions, as they play a vital role in building an inclusive and sustainable digital future focused on youth empowerment and innovation.
