Our Mentees

Our Mentees are driven changemakers dedicated to tackling urgent global threats through innovative, well‐researched projects. Over 16 weeks, they hone critical skills—technical analysis, policy design, strategic communication, project management, and virtual collaboration—while building connections with international experts. Graduates emerge as leaders ready to anticipate and mitigate existential risks, each leaving the program with a concrete deliverable (research paper, infographic, podcast, policy proposal, etc.) that kickstarts their impact journey.
