GLOCAL is a national not-for-profit organization that promotes digital civic engagement through local participation and global understanding in Canada.
At GLOCAL, we redefine civic engagement by empowering Canadian youth as active contributors rather than passive recipients. Through online volunteering, mentorship, micro-grants, and work opportunities, we create a talent incubator where youth take on roles like construction workers, engineers, designers, researchers, and couriers in the last-mile delivery of civic information. This approach not only facilitates knowledge mobilization but also fosters ownership, leadership, and social entrepreneurship among our youth.

Our digital initiatives and community outreach strive to improve the infrastructure and accessibility of public information in an effort to combat misinformation, information overload, and low-information rationality in the digital age.
Our digital civic engagement initiatives are driven by young Canadians nationwide and globally. By gaining direct experience, they deepen their understanding of societal challenges and drive meaningful change in their communities. With the tools and resources we provide, we aim to incubate a generation of informed, engaged, and empowered citizens capable of addressing the complexities of our time.

Formed by a group of young Canadians concerned about the evolving challenges facing democracy, GLOCAL emerged from a collective recognition that traditional civic engagement methods are becoming insufficient. Despite our diverse backgrounds, we share a common commitment to addressing these challenges through digital civic engagement and democratic literacy.
Through our web portal and various initiatives, we aim to promote digital citizenship, encourage youth engagement, enhance information accessibility, and mobilize civic knowledge across Canada. Our goal is to empower all Canadians to actively participate in shaping the future of our democracy, adapting to the changing landscape of civic engagement in the digital age.
Ottawa, 26 June 2023 – GLOCAL Foundation of Canada is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr. Laura Stephenson and Dr. Fred Cutler as charter members of its Board of Directors.
GLOCAL is a term that combines the words "global" and "local" and refers to the concept of thinking and acting both globally and locally. The term is often used in the context of business, politics, and culture, and reflects the idea that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected and interdependent.
In social and political contexts, the GLOCAL approach emphasizes the importance of global awareness and local engagement in addressing public concerns such as climate change, poverty, and inequality. It involves creative problem-solving that takes into account the unique needs and conditions of local communities while also recognizing the global perspectives of these issues.
The GLOCAL approach also recognizes the need to balance the benefits of globalization with the potential negative impacts on local communities and the environment. This can involve a focus on sustainable development, social responsibility, and ethical practices.
Overall, the GLOCAL concept emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between global and local perspectives in order to create a more interconnected and sustainable world.
