About uLEAD:
Grow. Collaborate. Contribute. uLEAD, tGELF’s new online platform, centralises the energy of young leaders across the globe to work together to solve pressing global issues; expedite their personal growth through our LEAD values; and use their unique talents to give back to their local and global communities.
As a first of its kind social impact focused online platform, uLEAD draws together individuals from our various ecosystems to accelerate action on a global scale. We created uLEAD to connect young leaders and professionals who are interested in building solutions to further the UN Sustainable Development Goals; to provide a singular place to find new opportunities to give back and get involved; to share relevant content for change makers; and much more. Currently, uLEAD centers around the coronavirus pandemic, and in the future it will become the hub for building solutions around all major world issues.
We are a small but driven, hard-working, and entrepreneurial team eager to constantly improve uLEAD for our global community. We welcome interested individuals with a knack for creativity, innovation, and analysis, with a passion for social impact to help transform uLEAD into the premier hub for young leaders and change-makers!
There are two tracks to get involved and contribute with your unique skills: volunteering and interning. Volunteers with uLEAD contribute to our work on a flexible basis determined by your availability and expertise. Interns work full-time with us each day. A limited number of paid internships are available for highly qualified individuals.
