The Riga Hub of the Global Shapers is a community of young leaders committed to creating positive change in ourselves, our local community, and the world.

We commit to partnering with our local community to learn about problems and needs from those who face them and to designing our work to maximize impact. We unite 16 young professionals from versatile backgrounds across Latvia and abroad in order to create positive and lasting change in Latvia.

What is Global Shapers Community

The Global Shapers Community worldwide is a network of young people driving dialogue, action and change. We have more than 7000 members and the Community spans 378 city-based hubs in 160 countries.

In each city, teams of Shapers self-organize to create projects that address the needs of their community. Projects are wide-ranging – from responding to disasters and combating poverty, to fighting climate change and building inclusive communities.
