Brooklyn Hub.
A network of young Brooklynites taking action and improving our community — one of 508 Global Shapers hubs worldwide, initiated by the World Economic Forum.
What is Global Shapers?
The Global Shapers Community is an initiative of the World Economic Forum. The ecosystem of extraordinary young people under 30 was launched in 2011 in response to the absence of young peoples' voices in global decision-making. Shapers are exceptional in their potential, their achievements, and their drive to contribute to their communities through projects. We are diverse in demographics, geographies, and passions, but united by a common desire to shape the future and build a more peaceful and inclusive world. Shapers run non-profits, work in healthcare, tackle climate change, are creatives, and much more.
