We are thrilled to announce that CCWA's Global Ambassadors program has been honored as a 2025 Generation NEXT Award Winner for Program of the Year by Engage! Cleveland.
The Global Ambassadors program is a transformative, year-long global leadership program for young professionals. The program invites emerging leaders in Northeast Ohio on a transformative journey to develop a global vision for the future of our city. This year-long program for emerging leaders explores opportunities and challenges for global cities. Participants learn about leadership, global competence, sustainability, economic development, and community building from a global perspective during interactive workshops, roundtable sessions, and a study trip to two European cities.
"Young professionals are our future, and we want to invest in equipping Cleveland’s emerging leaders with the knowledge & skills necessary to shape a brighter future for Northeast Ohio. To be recognized for our work with the Global Ambassadors is a huge honor, and we are grateful to Engage! Cleveland," reflects CCWA's Director of Global Education Elizabeth Colvin.
Engage! Cleveland’s Generation NEXT Awards honor the companies, organizations, and individuals working diligently to attract, engage and retain up-and-coming talent to Cleveland. CCWA is proud to be a part of the creating engaging experiences for emerging leaders in our community.
