Global Sustain+Ability Scholars program trains and supports rising young professionals from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and worldviews. We are a professional community, working on global sustainable development challenges that face communities and environments.
We bring together the brightest undergraduate students and young professionals from under-represented groups to work with leading scientists on critical sustainability challenges that face communities and environments in the future. This effort spans cultures, borders and disciplines.
Our Mission
We foster professional development of a new generation of scientists, who represent the diversity of today’s society, in transdisciplinary sustainability science and innovation.
Our Approach
We have three synergistic programs that serve underrepresented groups in sustainability STEM: The GSS Scholars program serves undergraduates, GSS Early Career Fellows serves graduate students, and the RaMP-UP Tropical BioDiversity Fellows Program serves postbaccalaureates.

"Environmental issues don't have borders. Coming from an island state, Jamaica, I know how critical it is to work across the globe on issues like climate change and sea level rise. If we want to make any impact on the way things are going, we need to act now and together."
– Keren Alfred, Brown University
