Leadership With a Higher Purpose
Through The Global Leadership Summit (GLS), incarcerated men and women receive encouragement and leadership training, discover a sense of purpose, and envision a higher vision for their future. Hosting the GLS is an opportunity to transform prison culture and provide skillsets for successful reentry.
The Benefits of Hosting
Ongoing
Support
GLN staff will provide training and ongoing support leading to and during your GLS event. You will be coached through the hosting process.
Hosting
Guide

Free
Resources
Receive a digital copy of the Summit to play at your facility, as well as access to other year-round leadership development tools.
All You Need
While there is a cost for GLN to provide this opportunity, we know not every prison facility is able to cover this expense. The GLN works closely with donors and local churches to cover these costs if necessary and we have scholarships available for facilities that cannot afford the fees on their own. We believe everyone has influence, and never want finance to stand in the way of transformation!
Onsite Personnel
There are two support roles needed to make your event smooth. One person is needed to run point for the event and liaise with GLN prior to and on event days. The help of the facility’s IT team is also needed, as there are also websites that need to be cleared through the facility’s firewall.
Technology Coverage
The GLS is a live-streamed event, therefore, you will need your facility’s IT department to clear a few http URLs for the Summit stream to get through the prison firewall. Our GLN tech team is available to assist in this process and to provide support throughout your hosting journey.
Internet Bandwidth
An internet bandwidth capacity of 15Mbps or more is needed to receive the live Summit stream (and free bandwidth tests are available). However, if your facility does not meet this bandwidth capacity, there are still other options available to participate.
