You are now a partner in the Global Mayors Academy
Step into a global movement of visionary city leaders and changemakers.
By sharing this opportunity, you help grow a trusted international network of people committed to leading their cities with wisdom, clarity, courage, and regenerative vision.
Why this matters
Cities are at the heart of today's most urgent challenges — and the greatest potential for positive change. The leaders we support now will shape the wellbeing of themselves, their people, their places, and our planet for generations to come.
"If we want to change the world, we need to change the creators of the world."
— One of our co-founders
Your role as a partner
As a GMA Partner, you play a vital role in inviting mayors, urban innovators, and key system stewards into a transformational learning journey. You help them access the tools, relationships, and mindset shifts needed to lead with impact in a rapidly changing, vastly complex world.
What is the Global Mayors Academy
The Global Mayors Academy is a seven-month leadership program designed to support both personal transformation and systemic change.
It blends world-class training, experiential learning through on-the-ground projects, and a vibrant community of peers and experts — culminating in an in-person graduation, learning, and networking experience in Switzerland.
Participants leave better equipped to lead themselves, their teams, and their cities — and to contribute to a more regenerative future for all.

What you offer — and what you receive
Your promo code gives applicants a meaningful discount on the program fee.
In return, you receive a generous, agreed partner commission for every successful referral — and recognition as a contributor to a global movement for city transformation.
The specific commission rate and discount applied to your code are set out in the Ambassador Agreement provided to you during onboarding. Different partner tiers offer different commission structures — your onboarding contact will walk you through which one applies to your role.
