A network of young changemakers, aged under 30, advancing local solutions to global challenges.
Global Shapers CommunityThe Global Shapers Community is a youth initiative of the World Economic Forum, with active hubs in 450 cities around the globe. We believe in a world where young people are central to solution building, policy-making and lasting change.
Shapers are highly motivated individuals who have great potential for future leadership roles in society, selected on the basis of their achievements, leadership potential, and commitment to making a difference.
We believe young people should help shape the systems they inherit. The Austin Hub creates a place to turn conviction into practical, locally grounded work.
Dialogue. Listen across sectors, backgrounds, and points of view.
Action. Move from ideas to accountable, member-led projects.
Change. Build work that can be measured, shared, and sustained.
Engineers, attorneys, analysts, founders, and students from across Austin. Different expertise, one hub, and a shared commitment to lasting public impact.
