Leadership is legacy. Community is power. Change starts with the people closest to the challenge.
In a year marked by global setbacks and heartbreaking loss, the Aspen Global Innovators Group doubled down on what matters most: investing in leaders who know their communities best and are building bold, locally-rooted solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges.
This report doesn’t just recap numbers. It traces the journeys of visionary leaders working across 54 countries: from doulas rewriting maternal health outcomes in Tulsa to youth leaders fighting food insecurity in Ghana. You will hear directly from fellows and partners as they build momentum across climate resilience, reproductive justice, community health, and youth opportunity.
We lost our beloved Executive Director Lola Adedokun in 2024, but her impact lives on in every story shared here. This report honors her legacy by spotlighting the Fellows and movements she helped cultivate, and by continuing her belief that leadership is joyful, courageous, and community-rooted.
