Why should you think globally, and act locally?
Today’s greatest challenges, from climate change to poverty, inequality to displacement, natural resource depletion to overpopulation, are global in nature and interconnected.
Millions of people around the world would like to be part of the solution, to be the change they wish to see. Countless organizations and institutions are working on these issues, yet many of them are still looking inward, pursuing narrow interests within national, cultural, academic and economic boundaries.
Mission
Through our fellowship and collaborative programs, we promote and enable global citizenship as a way for individuals and organizations to work together across boundaries of place and identity to solve challenges in an interconnected world.
Pathways to Melton Fellowship
The Melton Fellowship offers diverse pathways for passionate individuals committed to fostering positive social change. Our two main entry points into our life-long Melton Fellowship are holistic, and aimed at change agents at different stages of their social impact journey.
The Global Solvers Accelerator brings together emergent agents of social change from across the globe for an impact-driven, project-focused, learning journey. Alternatively, the Global Citizenship Learning Program, for university students with an eagerness to explore Global Citizenship, serves as the second entry point, providing a 10 months comprehensive learning experience.
Global Solvers Accelerator
Over eight months, participants develop leadership skills, refine social impact initiatives, and ignite transformative change across sectors, places, and identities, advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Global Citizenship Learning
Our Global Citizenship Learning Program empowers university students passionate about community service, enhancing their capacity, influence, and advocacy for impactful change through leadership and commitment to serving society.
Life-long Senior Fellowship
