Global Leaders Academy Interest Form

The Office of Multilingual Learners welcomes your interest in the Global Leaders Academy, a program designed to expose young change-makers who identify as English Language Learners and/or immigrant students to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Through this program, students are afforded a unique opportunity to develop their leadership, language, and other critical 21st century skills.

The Global Leaders Academy was first launched as a summer program in 2023. After two successful years of running the program in the summer, we piloted an in-school model with select schools in SY 24-25! This in-school launch will help inform the expansion of the program to an increased number of multilingual and immigrant students, particularly English Language Learners who may be excluded from other work-based learning opportunities.

Benefits of the program include:

Participation in United Nations Sustainable Development Goals workshops to develop leadership skills and a growth mindset.
Engagement with global leaders from varied organizations, including Permanent Missions to the United Nations.
Developing solutions to real-world challenges and present them to national impact leaders
Stipend upon program completion
