Discover the organization
Global Young Leaders is about bringing people together in peer-to-peer, non-judgmental environments around the meaningful life themes that we all come across while creating our life's path. We create spaces and workshops that serve as mini-communities where people can momentarily strip away the external noise, pressure, and expectations that clutter the mind, so that they can connect to themselves and others, develop individualized life skills and approaches, and see clearly what they feel, think, need, and desire. Global Young Leaders is centered around learning, authenticity, and you becoming better being yourself.
Built by young people for young people from across the globe.
Our core team has it's Headquarters in the French West Indies and is shaped by: Christiaan, Marja, Leona, and Meghna.

GYL Hubs
The GYL organization is made up out of a network of global GYL Hubs, united by the GYL banner. Hubs are groups of dedicated GYL team members located in different cities across the globe. Hubs build our organization through working on local expansion, partnerships, and organizing and facilitating workshops.
The San Francisco Hub, California, USA
After the publishing of our handbook in early 2019, we soon transformed our handbook into workshops, which we started hosting in-person in the Netherlands. Meghna (a San Francisco resident) flew overseas to join a workshop in the Netherlands, and expressed her excitement and passion for taking GYL overseas. We saw this as a sign to jump the pond to San Francisco in early 2020.
At one of our first workshops in California, Nancy, as a decision-making workshop participant., sent us a message on how our workshop had changed her life's choices and direction, and that she wanted to be a part of our team in San Francisco!
Fast forward Meghna and Nancy have become integrated members of the GYL team, working on networking, workshop facilitating and establishing our first international GYL Hub.

The Amsterdam Hub, North-Europe
While we were setting up our hub across the pond, workshop participants Jetty, Ashmi, and Jonne in the Netherlands were inspired and wanted to copy the concept of a Hub for Amsterdam and be involved in GYL as workshop facilitators to inspire young people to create life by their own design.

French West Indies Hub
By coincidence we arrived at a caribean island in the middle of the North Atlantic Sea and decided to create this as our headquarters, perfectly centered between four continents North, Middle and South America, Africa and Europe. Soon it became the third hub when workshops were given to other islands close by.
