February 3 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EST
Free
Discover how your dreams can meet real opportunities! Join us on February 3 for a fireside chat with Ziyaan Virji, Founder of Leaders of Today.
What does it really take to turn an idea into impact?
Ziyaan Virji is a young social entrepreneur who turned a simple Google Sheet into Leaders of Today — a global platform helping tens of thousands of young people access scholarships, fellowships, and opportunities around the world.
What started as a way for one youth to keep track of opportunities grew into a movement accessed over 3 million times, now reaching 50,000+ young leaders through a weekly newsletter and digital platform built by youth, for youth.
In this conversation, Ziyaan will share:
- How he got started before he felt “ready”
- What actually worked (and what didn’t) along the way
- How young people can turn their interests into real-world impact
- Practical advice for navigating opportunities in education, leadership, and social change
Whether you’re curious about social entrepreneurship, global issues, or just figuring out your next step, this session is designed to be honest, interactive, and grounded in real experience.
This event is virtual via Zoom.
Please note that this event will be offered in English.
