The Ilorin Global Shapers Community is a dynamic youth-led movement that aims to drive positive change through dialogue and action. As an initiative of the World Economic Forum, this global community of extraordinary young people is passionate about creating a more peaceful and inclusive society. Located in Kwara State, Nigeria, the Shapers in this region are committed to filling a significant void and transforming the socio-economic landscape of their state.

The vision to establish the Ilorin Global Shapers Community was realized through the determination and leadership of Yusuf Qudus Oyindamola, a prominent community development advocate. By collaborating with like-minded professionals, the founding curator successfully chartered this hub, creating a platform for diverse minds to come together and make a difference.

In just a year, the Ilorin Global Shapers Community has achieved remarkable milestones, including securing partnerships with relevant stakeholders in the state and winning a $12k grant to accelerate climate-related projects. With a team of dedicated individuals, including the curator, vice curator, and impact officer, this community is poised to make a lasting impact on their society. If you have a project that aligns with their mission, don't hesitate to connect with them. Join the Ilorin Global Shapers Community and be part of their journey to a better future.
