The Christchurch Global Shapers Hub is comprised of a small number of exceptional young people who come from diverse backgrounds, united by our passion to influence positive change through meaningful projects and harnessing the collective power of active citizenship.  

Between us, we are artists, lawyers, creatives, entrepreneurs, technologists, environmentalists, community connectors, and more.

We are a conduit for connecting change makers, channelling our energy and enthusiasm into curating a mixture of events and projects, to add value to our city and wider region, particularly in the context of sustainability and the post-earthquake city rebuild.

Officially we meet once a month, providing opportunities for personal and professional development, collaborate with the Auckland Hub to host at least one retreat annually and support the Australia / New Zealand network of Global Shapers Hubs.

Hub activities are non-political, non-partisan and always focussed on impact.

Our mission statement:

"Weaving our collective identities to nurture, engage and activate growth in our communities and in ourselves"

Our values:

- Community, connection & service

- Growth, learning & personal fulfilment

- Justice, equity, diversity & inclusion 

- Happiness, joy & silliness

- Kaitiakitanga & being part of the land - Te Ao Maori as a worldview

Applications are currently OPEN for the Christchurch Hub and will close 14 October 2020. Click here to apply now!
