2015 Global Prize for Transformative Social Justice Leadership
Challenging Structural Inequality & Centering the Voices of Those Most Impacted

The Kalamazoo College Global Prize awards $25,000 to an innovative and collaborative social justice leadership project from around the globe. The competition honors and uplifts grassroots work that challenges structural inequality and centers the voices of those most impacted by an injustice.

Up to 10 finalists receive all-expense paid trip to Kalamazoo College to present their projects on campus, and a panel of community-wide and national jurors determines the semi-finalists and winner, respectively. The Global Prize ceremony is a dynamic weekend where the finalists share best practices with each other and the entire K community, who learn about these cutting-edge projects, interact personally with the finalists, and ultimately find inspiration for their own social justice-related pursuits.

Transformational leadership features inspired, collective vision towards structural change in the areas of human rights and social justice. The pursuit of that vision is done in collaboration with others and changes those who are committed to the work. It utilizes the strengths of all those involved and inspires personal growth in everyone connected.

All entries must be submitted by 11:59 AM on or before April 17, 2015.
