Coming Soon: GLC 2025 for All JA Staff
October 1, 2024
Around the world, JA is committed to offering growth and educational opportunities for staff. That’s why, every two years, JA Worldwide hosts our Global Leadership Conference (GLC) for all JA staff, no matter where they are in the world.
Originally an in-person conference for JA leadership, GLC went virtual in 2021 and opened up to staff at every level of the organization. Although the in-person edition of GLC returned in 2023, we remained committed to staff development at every level and decided to continue hosting the virtual edition. That new tradition will continue in 2025.
GLC Virtual in the second quarter of 2025 will harness the best of our network, offering a one-stop-shop for staff to connect with like-minded colleagues and engage in functional learning and growth opportunities. Thanks to sponsors like Delta Air Lines, JA staff can network within our global community and hear from world-class speakers—all from the comfort of their own space.
We’ll also host in-person GLC 2025 (fourth quarter of 2025) for JA leadership in . . . drumroll, please . . . Rio de Janeiro, Brazil! Expanding on previous in-person GLCs held in Oslo, Boston, Toronto, Atlanta, Berlin, and Bangkok, GLC Rio will bring together JA leadership from around the world. Sessions will focus on new ways to innovate, expand how we deliver JA learning experiences, and reach our long-term strategic goals.
As with previous in-person editions of GLC, we’ll work closely with local and regional JA offices for GLC Rio. Staff from JA Brazil and JA Americas have already helped our JA Worldwide staff by scouting locations, identifying vendors, brainstorming attendee experiences, and so much more.
We’ll include sessions for staff, board members, and teachers, but the bulk of GLC is available for staff only. Are you interested in working for JA? Connect with JA offices in your region to find employment opportunities.
