Global Shapers Community

With the largest youth population in history, there is an unprecedented opportunity for young people to take an active role in shaping the future. This generation has inherited enormous global challenges, but has the ability to confront the status quo and offer youth-led solutions for change.

The Global Shapers Community, born out of the World Economic Forum, is a grassroots network of inspiring young people under the age of 30 working together to address local, regional, and global challenges. With more than 14,000 members, the Global Shapers Community spans 505 city-based hubs in 152 countries.

In each city, teams of Shapers self-organize to create projects that address the needs of their community. Projects are wide-ranging – from responding to disasters and combating poverty, to fighting climate change and building inclusive communities. Shapers are diverse in expertise, education, income and race, but are united by their desire to bring about change.

We are providing leadership coaching to over 150 Global Shapers focusing on empowering leaders on unlocking the leaders potential within the overall Global Shapers Community and the communities they live in.
