About Us
The world needs female leaders, and Porter’s Center for Global Leadership is specifically designed to produce them. Our courses give girls the tools they need to be empowered, to learn, to collaborate, to lead, and to create innovative solutions to pressing global issues.
Founded in 2020 by Miss Porter’s School, Porter’s Center for Global Leadership (PCGL) was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the world faced unprecedented devastation, we were bound together globally for the first time in recent history. With the increased use of online platforms to connect people across the world, we created PCGL to not only create meaningful connections but to inspire global change.
Mission:
Our mission is to create more equitable access to innovative learning experiences for girls and women that build connections, address global issues, and inspire change.
Vision:
Our vision is to inspire girls and women to be catalysts for global change.
