The Clinton Foundation by former American President, Bill Clinton is rooted firmly in the belief that no one is too young to make a difference and create positive change in their communities. This is why the Foundation warmly announces the application for the Global Initiative University program 2020 open.
The Clinton Global Initiative is a year-round program that helps develop and train the next generation of leaders and social entrepreneurs. It provides undergraduate and graduate students access to training and mentorship opportunities; a wide range of international experts and changemakers, and in-person and virtual networking opportunities, and in addition, the students don't have to pay to participate.
Furthermore, the candidates applying for the CGI U program will also get the opportunity to attend the CGI U 2020 General Meeting at the University of Edinburgh. Moreover, the Clinton Foundation offers a travel grant to assist students in attending the meeting.
To be a part of this program, the students need to commit to addressing a pressing global challenge or issue in their local campus or community. This pledge – called a “Commitment to Action” – takes the form of a new, specific, and measurable project that each student develops either as an individual or with their peers.
The focus areas of these commitments are Education, Environment and Climate Change, Peace and Human Rights, Poverty Alleviation, and Public Health.
