Gathering a community of young changemakers dedicated to social impact and entrepreneurship.
We are a student-run social innovation conference that gathers young change makers from around the world to collaborate, discuss and further their social ventures.
The Global Engagement Summit believes that by connecting and empowering students we can begin to meet pressing social needs.
Together, we help push your venture further.
The Global Engagement Summit empowers young change-makers to produce innovative and sustainable solutions to shared global problems. We do this by providing training, facilitating mentorships, organizing grant offerings, and connecting driven students with innovative thought leaders. In addition to tangible outcomes, 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, students 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. The summit will take place on April 17th – 21st, 2024 and will be hosted on Northwestern University’s campus in Evanston, Illinois.
