About Palo Alto Global Shapers

The Palo Alto Hub of the Global Shapers is a community of young leaders committed to creating positive change in our local community and the world. We are an initiative of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Our mission is to marshall the considerable resources available to us to catalyze or amplify projects and people that create positive, equitable impact.

“We are becoming increasingly aware that solutions to our global challenges must purposefully engage youth, at all levels – locally, regionally, nationally and globally. This generation has the passion, dynamism and entrepreneurial spirit to shape the future.”
