Global Leadership Forum (GLF) is UWC-USA’s virtual summer program for students 13-16 years old who want to learn more about UWC and become the changemakers the world needs.

Learn to build the skills of peacemaking, conflict resolution, goal-setting, and collaboration. Make friends with students from all over the world and explore how to become a local leader dedicated to making the world more just, sustainable, and peaceful..

The 3-week Global Leadership Forum program will give participants the leadership skills necessary to plan and execute a project that addresses a social justice challenge in their home community.

Participants routinely point to the following ways that they grew as a result of their GLF experience:

  • Increased confidence

Our staff are more than just camp counsellors, facilitators, or leaders, they are:
