First Year World Academy – 100 members are selected each year through an application and interview process.

The Advanced World Academy – members who complete year one can apply for the second year and are accepted based on their performance during the first year. This year expands the initial skills and adds more leadership responsibilities for the second-year members to demonstrate their ability to implement the skills they have achieved.

The World Academy in Action – members who have completed year one and year two now apply and engage in higher level leadership roles on the Leadership and Project Teams. They assume added responsibilities and initiate new procedures and practices. Their ability to lead with greater independence and make decisions based on the circumstances they encounter builds confidence and self-reliance.

World Academy Worldwide – members in the fourth year focus on being a global citizen as they work with members of the World Academy in other locations, play a stronger role in connecting with the UN Sustainable Goals, our UN Consultative Status, engage with international mentors, facilitators and conference participants. They look to broaden the reach of the World Academy to areas beyond their local and country boundaries.
