The Global Shapers Phoenix Hub’s mission is to unite young people who are committed to global change through local action to improve the state of the world – actualizing Arizona’s greatness for the common good. The Phoenix Hub has historically worked to address food insecurity in Phoenix, namely with partners Creighton Community Foundation and Tiger Mountain Foundation. More recently, the Phoenix Hub has addressed sustainability holistically using the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal framework to further sustainability through volunteerism.

Other projects include:

“Grow Some Shade” – tree plantings to address food insecurity while removing carbon from the atmosphere and providing some immediate heat relief in lower-income neighborhoods.
“Hikes for Healing” – a plogging group that combines hiking for physical health with meditation/reflection for mental health and litter removal for environmental health.
SHAPE – an international convening of Global Shapers in Phoenix, helping grow young leaders and giving them the knowledge and resources to create impact in their home community.
