The Young Leaders Camp is a short, fully funded leadership programme held in Jakarta, Indonesia, supported by Youth Break the Boundaries (YBB). It is a summit-style exchange in which 10 selected delegates have all their expenses covered, while other delegates may join at their own cost. The programme runs over a few days, with the equivalent of the previous edition held across roughly 22 to 24 of the travel month, and the earlier summit was hosted in Turkey. It is open to participants aged about 16 to 40 from any educational or national background who have a good command of English and no record of criminal activity. The camp helps participants build leadership skills including communication, teamwork and problem-solving, and includes time to explore Jakarta; it works much like a short summer or exchange programme, and no IELTS score is required. For the 10 funded delegates, Youth Break the Boundaries covers the programme costs in full; selection runs in 2 rounds, an application-form review followed by an interview. Because the exact dates, the number of funded places and the cost arrangements are set each edition, confirm the current details and the 2026 deadline on the official Youth Break the Boundaries page before applying.
