The Global Engagement Summit (GES) empowers young change-makers from around the world to cultivate sustainable solutions to shared global problems. Through a 5-day summit, delegates have the opportunity to grow and scale their projects through tailored workshops, personalized mentorship sessions, and keynote speaker events. Examples of past summit events include a talk with Nadia Murad (Nobel Prize Laureate), marketing sessions with leaders at Google, and even a baseball game at Wrigley Field. In addition to tangible resources and opportunities, GES also strives to provide a forum for discussing critical issues and evaluating why we want to “do good well.” Through GES, delegates can share challenges, develop their projects, and equip themselves with the tools needed to take their social ventures to the next level.

Above all, GES hopes to foster a greater sense of community among the world’s social entrepreneurs. Young change makers and thought leaders can learn and benefit from each other’s experiences and gain lifelong connections.
