Mission Statement
Global Shapers Edmonton is a youth-led group of professionals, entrepreneurs, thought-leaders, parents, students, and Edmontonians united by our common desire to build a more peaceful and inclusive world, with a focus on the unique challenges that our northern metropolis faces in areas related to inclusion, skills, health, aid, the planet, and engagement. We collaborate with other Edmonton-based non-profit organizations to magnify the work they do, team up with other Global Shapers hubs across Canada through co-developing projects, and connect with hubs around the world to gain an international context for our work.
About This Cause
Born out of the World Economic Forum, the Global Shapers Community is a 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 500+ city-based hubs in 150 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, heritage and identity, but are united by their desire to bring about change. Shapers look for opportunities to have impact on a global scale by joining forces with other hubs. They represent a network of peers connected through technology, events and joint projects. Each year, hundreds of hub leaders known as Curators come together to showcase the work of their hub and strengthen relationships across communities. On the regional level, events are designed and led by Shapers to encourage collaboration, share expertise and explore community solutions.
