What is Champions?

Champions is a movement that centers leadership on what it means to be human: humanity-centered leadership.

Our origin story: the movement is founded by Glen Ford, who, in 2004, helped build the Kigali Genocide Memorial.

The Memorial is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, receiving over 100,000 visitors per year and its peace education program reaches more than 2.5 million Rwandan children each year.

This experience helped form Champions: the understanding that humanity is not a soft add-on, but a performance multiplier—an economic and social driver that creates trust: the foundation for thriving communities.

Being and acting HUMAN is an important part of living in a civilized society. Champions is giving people a message and empowering their voice. You are creating 'agents of humanity'.

Champions draws on social transformation research, such as 'the 3.5% rule': that change comes through small groups of highly active, committed people.

This is the vision: to establish a movement of people with the human capabilities they need to create thriving families, communities and organizations.

Champions is about you: enabling you to be the best version of you, and connecting you with a like-minded community.

Who is Champions for?

Champions is for individuals, families and organizations: a movement for humanity.

Employability is a major focus:

  • For those in work - becoming the best version of yourself
  • Young people seeking work - becoming adults, becoming 'human'

As one young participant discovered, Fred Gale, you become 'a better friend, colleague and family member—a better human'.

How is it funded?

We use a pay-it-forward model to grow and sustain the movement through membership, paid programs, experiences, sponsorship and donations.

Your contributions also funds the Champions Program for young people.
