Global Leaders Program A scholarship-based professional training and leadership course offered annually to the most exceptional graduates of YOA

In celebration of YOA’s 10th Anniversary, the Global Leaders Program was launched in 2012 as a year-long leadership training

fellowship offered to the most exceptional graduates of the orchestra. The program combines unique on-site professional

experience in diverse international settings with remote classroom training led by a faculty of pioneers in the field of social

development through music. The program seeks to foster the skills needed to guide successful community-based music programs

where participants act simultaneously as entrepreneurs, mentors, teachers, advocates, performers, administrators, and fundraisers.

By exposing our musicians to a variety of models in different cultural contexts, the Global Leaders Program builds a distinctive and

comprehensive understanding of what it takes to lead the social music initiatives of tomorrow.

Across the world, a rapidly expanding belief in the value of music education as a tool for transforming communities and improving

lives has led to the establishment of countless new programs at the national, regional, and municipal levels, formed with social

development as their principal objective. Through its vast international network of musicians and music programs across the

Americas, YOA has played a supporting role in the emergence of many of these new projects from Canada to Chile. Out of the

experience of helping to launch and guide social music programs in different settings, YOA understands first-hand the real need

that exists for young leaders capable of directing these initiatives. However, the diverse skills and experiences required to build and

sustain relevant social music programs are not taught in conservatory practice-rooms or in university lecture halls. By creating the

Global Leaders Program, YOA is helping to prepare a new generation of social entrepreneurs to use music to transform lives, while

ensuring that new social initiatives launched across the Americas will continue to exist and serve their communities through music

for generations to come.
