PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program

Empowering youth to lead with purpose and impact

The PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program is an immersive youth development experience designed for students in grades 9–12. The program empowers young leaders to build global leadership skills, deepen their understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), and engage in cultural exploration that fosters empathy, confidence, and creativity.

Through a curriculum that integrates STEM, civic engagement, cultural enrichment, service learning, and wellness practices, participants gain hands-on experience translating global goals into meaningful local action—preparing them to lead with purpose and make a real-world impact.

Take Action. Lead Change. Build the Future.

As members of PtC Corps, students will become changemakers in their own communities—developing innovative solutions that support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda. Through bi-monthly virtual sessions, participants will explore diverse leadership strategies, engage with guest experts, and connect with like-minded peers. They’ll collaborate in teams and bring their ideas to life through action-driven projects.

By exploring and applying the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), participants gain the tools and confidence to make a meaningful, lasting impact—locally and globally. This is more than a leadership program—it’s a launchpad for a new generation of socially conscious, globally aware youth leaders, committed to building a sustainable and equitable future.
