These young leaders are rewarded with a full scholarship and participate in a 12-week program at Georgetown University where they learn about political, corporate, nonprofit, professional and personal leadership. In addition, participants develop a social impact project while at Georgetown to be carried out in their respective home countries. These projects promote the program’s focus on action and aim to produce a multiplier effect to expand the reach of the GCL program throughout the region.
