Global Scholar Curriculum

Our goal is to:

Understand the greatest global challenges facing our generation. We meet with experts to explore security, poverty, climate change, global hunger, genocide, the rights of women and girls and much more. We also unpack the role of the United Nations, the G8, the World Bank, corporations, citizens and, of course, youth.
Build young global leaders. Through workshops covering basics like public speaking, policymaking, group dynamics and strategic communications, Global Scholars learn how to inspire change and lead action. They put these skills into practice through our unique Action Lab as well as through various leadership development opportunities.

Key Program Elements

Explore global issues with experts. We offer unparalleled access to leaders and places where decisions get made.

We offer skills that cannot be gained elsewhere, which you can immediately apply to your work and life.
