Deadline: 30-Sep-22
Are you passionate about changing the world? Are you ready to become a Founding Curator? If yes then apply to the hub incubator.
The Global Shapers Community is a network of 14,000+ young people under the age of 30 driving dialogue, action and change. In 481 cities across 150 countries and territories, teams of Shapers self-organize around volunteer projects that address local, regional, and global challenges. Shapers are diverse in expertise, education, income, race and more – but are united by their desire to bring about change.
Spend 2 virtual sessions in October-November 2022 developing the strategy and vision of your future hub. If successful, you will become the Founding Curator of a new hub in your city.
Goal
The goal is to expand the Global Shapers Community to all corners of the world. In doing so, the program hopes to help empower even more young change-makers by amplifying their voices and supporting their desire to drive positive impact – from fighting the climate crisis to creating inclusive communities.
