COLLABORATION • COMMUNITY • IMPACT
Building connections that expand opportunity, strengthen learning, and contribute to healthier communities.
TOGETHER WE LEARN • TOGETHER WE LEAD
No single organization can address the complexity of global health alone. Global Health Explorers seeks to build relationships across education, public health, science, technology, community development, and youth leadership.
Through collaboration, GHE aims to connect young people with knowledge, expertise, opportunities, mentorship, and real-world challenges that can strengthen their capacity to contribute to healthier and more equitable communities.
OUR APPROACH
GHE seeks partnerships that expand opportunities for young people while strengthening education, evidence, equity, innovation, compassion, community, and leadership.
We value relationships built on shared purpose, mutual respect, transparency, responsible stewardship, and a genuine commitment to positive social impact.
FOUNDATIONAL & INSTITUTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
GHE is being developed through relationships with individuals and institutions that share an interest in education, youth development, data literacy, global health, and leadership.
The Health Education Foundation of Canada (HEFC) provides an important institutional context for advancing health education, public engagement, and the development of future-oriented initiatives.
GHE seeks to build on this foundation by creating meaningful educational opportunities for young people interested in health and global citizenship.
STEM Fellowship brings expertise in science, technology, data, research, and youth education. Its experience in student-focused data initiatives provides an important foundation for the development of the Global Health Big Data Challenge.
GHE aims to strengthen this connection by bringing global health questions into youth-oriented STEM learning and data exploration.
GHE seeks to connect with universities, researchers, educators, and students who can contribute scientific expertise, mentorship, educational resources, and opportunities for young learners.
These relationships can help bridge education, research, and real-world global health challenges.
GLOBAL HEALTH ECOSYSTEM
GHE is inspired by the work of organizations, institutions, researchers, educators, and communities working to advance health, equity, human development, and sustainable futures around the world.
WHO provides a global reference point for understanding health systems, disease prevention, health equity, universal health coverage, and the major health challenges facing populations around the world.

Universities can contribute expertise, mentorship, research perspectives, educational resources, and pathways for young people interested in health sciences and global health.
Youth organizations can help GHE reach diverse communities, amplify young voices, and create opportunities for collaboration and leadership.
