Benefits of becoming a Global Solver
Participants refine and build on their social impact project(s) at the Global Solvers Accelerator. Joining the program means pivoting skills, capacity, and connections to tap into the fullest transformative potential of community development work and ignite shared solutions that cut across boundaries of place, identity, paradigms, and further the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Global Solvers Accelerator enables participants to build upon their community projects in close correlation to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Here are some key benefits of becoming a Global Solver at a glance:
- Furthering Impact – At the Global Solvers Accelerator, participants develop their impact projects to unleash their transformative potential. To achieve the same, participants work together with other practitioners from diverse places. In the process, they connect experiences and learn about different realities around the globe!
- Capacity Building – Participants learn new and/or advanced skills that further their Global Citizenship competency and give a huge momentum to their impact as social leaders. Experiences of practices in SDG-focused domains, interpersonal bonds, and support of our Community of Practice are some additional facets of the program!
- Joining a Global Citizenship Community – Upon successful completion of the program, participants are eligible to join the Melton Foundation’s lifelong supported community as Senior Melton Fellows and gain access to a global community of 600 change catalysts across the globe, project funding through our Action Grants, travel opportunities to global impact events, and more! A certified recognition of participation is also provided to graduating Global Solvers!
