Vision
Global Student Leadership envisions a worldwide network of young,
empowered women and men serving as local leaders and agents of
change, who have the self-confidence, entrepreneurial and enterprise
management skills necessary to help transform their communities
Our Mission
GSL
International is building, training and nurturing economically
vibrant, entrepreneurial leaders. GSL‘s delivery of
entrepreneurial training and leadership development programs are
transforming local communities around the world. Our training
efforts provide community leaders with transferable skills and
education; community-based reinvestment strategies; a
collaborative partnership and alliance building orientation; and
a commitment to visionary and inclusive leadership. GSL
International does this by first conducting a pragmatic
multi-week training program for aspiring leaders and
entrepreneurs and, then, after rigorous evaluation, by providing
resource support for the most promising business plans.
Peter
Drucker proposes that “every few hundred years in Western
history there occurs a sharp transformation. Within a few short
decades, society – its worldviews, its basic values, its social
and political structures, its art, its key institutions-
rearranges itself. We are currently living through such a time.”[1]
GSL International provides the program, process and pedagogue
for social entrepreneurs and change agents to successfully
navigate our evolving landscapes. The GSL Leadership for Local
Change curriculum is built on four pillars: leadership,
entrepreneurship, advocacy/communication and information
technology and is a well-tested program, successfully training
inspired pragmatists.
