Shawn Mendes‘ The Shawn Mendes Foundation has partnered up with Global Citizen for the Global Citizen Academy.
Mendes said he is looking to “inspire and empower fans and today’s youth to bring positive change in the world and advocate for causes they care about.” The academy is a “first-of-its kind leadership experience for high school graduates from around the world to learn powerful and practical skills for a lifetime of social impact.”
Mendes said in a statement: “Our world needs young leaders now more than ever. It’s been truly inspiring to watch so many young activists use their voices. By working with Global Citizen Academy, my hope is that we can empower many more young people around the world with the resources and tools they need to make an impact.”
