Harvard undergraduates who design conferences and workshops for students ages 10 to 18, wherever those students are.

02 Why we do it

We prepare youth to take responsibility as global citizens, and to meet universal challenges with local solutions.

Every program is written in-house and customized for each partner school, so students see how the challenges in their own communities connect to the rest of the world, and build the leadership and critical thinking to act on them.

Every program we build does three things.

Educate.

We write every curriculum ourselves, shaped around the students in the room.

Empower.

Young people learn to take responsibility as global citizens.

Inspire.

Big ideas and bold questions, in classrooms around the world.
