The Global Shapers Community was born in 2011 from an initiative of the World Economic Forum. It is dedicated to under 30 changemakers. Now, 500 independent hubs and more than 11000 active shapers around the world work on projects that are most important to them and can create a positive impact in their city. 

The mission of the Community is to inspire, empower and connect leaders to reach their full potential, amplify emerging voices in decision-making, and positively shape their communities and the world.
