About Melton Foundation

Established nearly 30 years ago, the Foundation promotes Global Citizenship education worldwide. Its network includes 750+ Melton Fellows across 40+ countries, with operations in Chile, China, Germany, Ghana, India, and the USA.

About the Programme

GSA is not a typical accelerator focused on scaling or performance. It is a deep-work, peer-learning space for practitioners navigating real tensions in their work. Participants bring unresolved questions and challenges into a community where learning is co-created through honest conversation, feedback, experimentation, and mutual support.

The programme builds impact at three levels:

  • For the person – grow how you lead and share leadership

  • For the project – sharpen and strengthen your existing work

  • Across communities – local solutions cross-pollinate globally

Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must:

  • Be 20–35 years old

  • Be actively involved in an ongoing project, enterprise, research effort, movement, or community initiative tied to the SDGs

  • Have a track record of real social impact

  • Want to connect globally and advance sustainable development

  • Be curious, open-minded, and forward-thinking team players

  • Bring a sharing mindset — ready to learn, unlearn, and relearn

  • Have sufficient English language skills

  • Commit ~4 hours per week to the programme

  • Attend the week-long Global Solvers Co-Lab (3–10 July 2027, Germany, fully funded)

How to Apply

Applications for the 2027 cohort are open. Deadline: 15 November 2026.
