Amplifying the power of youth to make change louder.

 

Global Scholar Program

Join us to pursue, design, and demand our shared future:

  • by tuning in to youth-led conversations on global challenges

  • and stepping into your power to win real, lasting change on the issues you care about.

Here’s what we know:

We are all connected—locally and globally. The challenges facing our communities are deeply intertwined with those our generation experiences around the world.

Together, we can be architects of a new system. We bring bold energy, fresh ideas, and a unique vision to create real, lasting change.

There’s no time to waste. Let’s demand the world we know is possible.

Join us to get started. Founded by Yale students in the wake of 9/11, our movement has engaged more than 100,000 students in training, dialogue, and action. This semester, there’s a place for you in one of our virtual or in-person programs.

The Time is Now

There is no time to waste in tackling the greatest challenges facing us today, from intolerance to climate change.

Youth Have Power

Young people are the bold, visionary leaders our world needs. No other generation brings the same fresh perspective, creativity, and drive to imagine what’s possible and make it real.

We Must Act

Every moment is an opportunity to learn, collaborate, and build solutions together. Our actions—big and small—shape the world we share.

It’s such a great experience. If you are or are not into international affairs, you will go back home with such confidence, with all the knowledge you had acquired through this intense program. It will build your confidence in so many ways, such as public speaking, being inclusive, teamwork, support and so much!
