Youth aged 14 – 18 from around the world are welcomed to apply and participant to create a dynamic and enthusiastic community of global problem solvers, positive change makers, and doers. We strive to deliver a succinct UWC experience without any academic expectations. Participants and staff begin by developing a strong sense of community and personal identity. There are opportunities to take risks and be challenged personally in a supportive, safe, and non-judgmental environment. During the program participants participate in workshops centered around project development, design thinking, and the constructive engagement of conflict. They ask, engage, and reflect on the question of “How can I bring change in this world?” Participants engage in service learning and cultural activities. Guest speakers are welcomed to teach and promote social justice advocacy through media, the arts and storytelling. Skills are developed to support the participant’s development of interpersonal growth, empathy, self-awareness, resilience, public speaking, and confidence. Prior to leaving, participant’s share their social justice community project action plans that will be implemented in their home communities or countries. Upon returning home GLF alumni will understand how they can transform the hearts and minds of people they surround.
