Our Vision
Empowered by the World Economic Forum, the Los Angeles Global Shapers will provide leadership and representation through community initiatives addressing local societal needs that can be scaled for global impact Initiatives to promote the viewpoints of the "Shaper Generation" to influence local and international discourse and decision-making.
"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.”
– Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum Founder and Executive Chairman
