Nicole Rita Napoli serves as a Training and Coaching Assistant at the European Commission and as a Director of Operations at Young European Leadership. She previously served as EU Youth Delegate to the G20, where she led the Working Group on Rural Areas, contributing to policy proposals on territorial inequalities, Inclusive sustainable development and intergenerational fairness.
Her work focuses on how disparities in access to services — such as education, housing and essential public services — shape youth opportunities, regional resilience and long-term socio-economic outcomes. Bringing a rural perspective, she connects youth in local realities with international policymaking, with experience spanning municipal, national and EU levels, as well as global fora including the United Nations (CSW69, FAO WFF).
She is actively engaged in fostering youth participation in policy processes and regularly facilitates dialogue among diverse stakeholders in international settings.
