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 around global challenges

  • Turning up your unique power to win meaningful change around issues you care about.

Here’s what we know:

We are all connected, locally and globally. Challenges us facing us in our communities are deeply connected to those our generation experiences worldwide.

Together we can be engineers of a new system. We have the bold energy and unique vision to make great things happen.

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

Join us to get started. Since we were founded by students at Yale after 9/11, over 100,000 students have joined us for training, dialogue, and action.  There’s a place for you in one of our virtual or in-person programs this semester.

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

Youth are the bold and visionary leaders we need to transform our world. No other generation has the fresh perspective and untapped creativity of youth.

We Must Act

Every moment is an opportunity to expand our understanding, work with others to craft solutions, and engage our world. Everything matters.

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!
