The HundrED Community consists of thousands of education changemakers. From the very beginning, the power of HundrED has always come from them, the HundrED Community. It is their enthusiasm, thoughtful expertise, and positivity that has helped us to accelerate change in education through innovation. Over the past 4 years, we have made inspiring connections, discovered amazing education innovations, and overcome challenges together.
We are excited to continue this journey together in 2021 and to increase the number of opportunities to connect with the HundrED Community and to capitalize on the knowledge of this global network. When we work together there is no stopping us. So full steam ahead!

Overview of the HundrED Community
The intention of the HundrED Community is to bring together passionate educational stakeholders from around the world with the vision and desire to improve education with innovations. Through our platform, we offer the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and learn about innovative practices happening in education globally. This diverse group of education stakeholders includes:
- HundrED Innovators: trailblazers transforming the world of K12 education through their impactful and scalable work. These include selected innovators recognised by HundrED Research in the Global and Spotlight Collections.
- HundrED Country Leads: our newest and most prestigious group of Ambassadors. HundrED Country Leads work closely with the HundrED team to engage and grow their local Ambassador communities. We are currently in the midst of selecting new Country Leads for the 2021 year. If you are currently a HundrED Ambassador, please do connect with your HundrED Country Lead to receive the most up to date and relevant information for your context. If your country does not yet have a Country Lead feel free to reach out to a Country Lead near you or the HundrED Team directly.
- HundrED Ambassadors: a thriving global community of education stakeholders passionate about bringing change through innovations in K12 education. This voluntary network comprises over 730+ teachers, school principals, education consultants, professors, parents and students from over 100 countries.
- HundrED Youth Ambassadors: young change-makers, passionate about education. They are the future innovators of the world, excited to lead the movement and shape the future of education. This inspiring group of young people will be integral to our research process in 2021.
Additional details on ways to engage will be shared with relevant communities as they come up. If you have any questions, please do feel free to reach out to Katija Aladin at katija.aladin@hundred.org.
