Summary

The Melton Foundation (MF) is dedicated to building a community of Global Citizens committed to equity, sustainability, and cross-boundary collaboration. As part of this mission, the MF enables young changemakers through two distinct programs, both of which gateway into the lifelong, supported Melton Fellowship: the
Global Citizenship Learning Program
(GCLP) and
Global Solvers Accelerator
(GSA). While each program has a unique focus and a distinct candidate profile, both programs offer an immersive 8-month journey for young changemakers to grow their skills and social impact.
