Applications open

Help build this from the beginning.

IB Students Global is student-led. We are forming the founding student leadership team now: the students who join will help define the structure, programmes and priorities of the initiative rather than inherit them.

Founding cohort · Applications open

We are selecting an initial team of 10 Founding Student Leaders and 10 Founding Educators.

Applications are still open. If you would like to take an active role in shaping this community, apply before the deadline — and if you know an IB student or educator who may be a good fit, please share the opportunity.

Great journeys begin with strong communities.

Who we are looking for

  • Current IB students (DP or MYP) and recent graduates, from any country or school
  • Willingness to take responsibility for something and follow it through
  • Interest in building a community rather than collecting a title
  • Communication in English; additional languages are an asset

Grades are not part of the assessment. Students from regions where IB support is limited are especially encouraged to apply.

Roles and structure

Coming soon

Specific roles, responsibilities and time commitments are being defined together with the first group of applicants. Rather than publish a structure that does not exist yet, we will share it here once it is agreed — and applicants will help decide it.

Applications are reviewed as they arrive.

The application takes a few minutes. We reply to every applicant by email.
