Global Scholar: COVID-19 School-Year Edition

Amplifying youth power around COVID-19

Through our COVID-19 training program, we will equip the young leaders at your school to understand and take action around COVID-19. Through our unique youth leadership and action training program, students will work together to amplify the youth voice around this shared global challenge.

Now more than ever, it is critical for youth to take action to address our shared global challenges. While COVID-19 has disrupted life as we know it, it has also opened space for us to articulate a new vision for what can be. Youth have an opportunity to design and pursue a post COVID-19 future that is more just and sustainable. Join us to get started.
By partnering with us to bring Global Scholar: COVID-19 Edition to your school, you can empower the young leaders at your school to understand and take action around the effects of COVID-19 and building a better future.

Connecting Youth Leaders in Your School

Global Scholar: COVID-19 Edition offers a special opportunity for youth at your school to come together to explore their shared experiences and connections, understand their differences, and work together to propose bold youth-led interventions and alternatives.

Proposing Bold Youth-Led Interventions to Address COVID-19

We are living in extraordinary times. COVID-19 has transformed our lives in a matter of months, and its impacts compel us to examine many of the systems and structures that have facilitated its devastation. In crisis, there is often opportunity, too. Scholars will not only explore the challenge of COVID-19, they will work together to propose a bold vision for what can be, and start the work to make it so.
