Connecting grassroots experiences, empowering social impact practitioners, and unleashing transformative change! The Global Solvers Accelerator is a peer-to-peer learning platform that unites emerging social entrepreneurs from around the world, to nurture their leadership capacity, enhance their skills, strengthen their projects, and grow their impact in their local communities and beyond.
Turning Global Collaboration into Stronger Leadership & Stronger Projects
The Global Solvers Accelerator (GSA) is a ten-month leadership and peer-learning program for emerging changemakers aged 20-35, who are actively driving social impact in their communities. Each year, a cohort of 15–20 practitioners from around the world comes together to learn with and from one another while strengthening the social impact projects they are leading. The program combines online learning and dialogue with an in-person Global Solvers Co-Lab, creating a sustained learning journey rather than a one-time event. Participants engage through peer exchange, reflection, collaborative inquiry, project-based learning, and shared practice over 10 months.
GSA is not a typical accelerator focused primarily on growth, scaling, or performance. It is a deep-work, peer-learning space for practitioners navigating real tensions in their work. Participants bring unresolved questions, difficult decisions, and practical challenges from their projects into a community where learning is co-created through honest conversation, feedback, experimentation, and mutual support.
Guided by the Melton Foundation’s Global Citizenship Development Framework, the program engages participants in understanding social challenges across cultures, contexts, and systems –strengthening the ability to lead and to share leadership, and to build relationships with peers rooted in honesty, care, and radical trust.
Through this process, they gain new perspectives on their work, refine the direction of their projects, and become part of a global community committed to social change.
