The Curatorship ensures hub members are united by a shared sense of purpose and works together to create change. Specifically, the Curatorship is responsible for:

• Establishing governance structures including governing documents and membership expectations consistent with the Community Charter and Onboarding Guide. They develop ways to ensure transparency, build trust and create a responsive governance structure within the hub.

• Developing roles and responsibilities to achieve distributed hub leadership either by election or appointment (i.e. a treasurer or project, recruitment, impact or sustainability officers).

• Helping each hub member to see why the Global Shapers Community was created, what we stand for and how we work together to amplify the voice of young people and create change.

• Recruiting new members that are diverse in terms of expertise, education, income and race, and onboarding them to TopLink. They maintain the required 20-50 active Shapers.

• Ensure that every hub member has an up-to-date TopLink bio (max 200 words) written in 3rd person to increase their chances of being considered for World Economic Forum events and initiatives.

• Ensuring the hub is a safe space for each member. They intervene when members do not live up to the Code of Conduct or Anti-Harassment Policy; listen to and amplify the voices of all hub members—especially those often marginalized—and create accessible and safe spaces so that everyone can participate in hub projects, activities and events; and make sure projects, meetings, retreats and admin are viewed through an anti-racist lens, ensuring accessibility and inclusion.

• Maintaining a standard of excellence in the hub. They facilitate collaboration in the hub, across hubs and with HQ to achieve community objectives.

• Organizing regular hub meetings either in person or virtual (ideally twice a month, but at least once a month) to engage hub members and plan ahead. Meetings should accommodate or overcome barriers of participation such as costs, transportation, location, dates, times and cultural and/or religious practices.

• Supporting the hub to implement at least one project per year that meets our project criteria and improves the lives of people outside the hub. They work closely with the Impact Officer.

• Integrating community representatives and beneficiaries into the hub’s vision and projects.

• Facilitating fair and transparent elections to identify a new Curator and Vice-Curator according to the elections guidelines. They work to coordinate a smooth and complete leadership transition.

• Completing the Curatorship Half-Term Review and Hub Assessment Survey.

• There is even more that a Curatorship can do to transform their hub into a trusted partner for impact. Refer to the hub growth guide for additional ways to maximize your hub's collaboration within the Global Shapers Community and the World Economic Forum network
