The Next Generation Leaders (NGL) program, sponsored by the Mastercard Foundation and implemented by the Talloires Network of Engaged Universities at Tufts University, centers on young leaders from diverse global backgrounds. This initiative gathers civically engaged students to explore the university’s purpose and value, emphasizing public deliberation as a structured approach to fostering productive discourse on confronting societal challenges.
These young leaders’ latest development, the For Youth By Youth movement, reflects their aspirations to shape the future. They have taken proactive steps by initiating partnerships with their respective universities, recognizing this as a pivotal initial stride in bringing their shared vision to fruition.
