Meet the HundrED Community Leads

We are excited to announce the 2024 cohort of Community Leads, an inspiring group of 16 education changemakers from around the world who are passionate about bringing together innovators, implementers, decision makers, students, teachers and families so that every child can flourish.

The Community Leads represent an evolution of our Country Lead programme, a pilot which reinforced the need for organization on both the global and local scale. 

The Community Leads were selected from among over 100 applicants representing 59 countries.

Our Community Leads recognize that pushing educational change forward requires a broad network of co-creators working together towards a common goal. We empower our Leads to organize communities - regional and thematic - collaborate on impactful projects, work closely with HundrED Ambassadors, and connect stakeholders at all levels of education.

Do you have an idea for creating impact in your local educational system? Is there an innovation that is ready for the spotlight? Looking to speak with likeminded changemakers? Want to share your insights and expertise? Find your community below!
