About Three Dot Dash:

Initiated by the We Are Family Foundation, Three Dot Dash identifies and empowers young leaders known as Global Teen Leaders (GTLs) actively involved in tackling pressing global issues. Recognizing teenagers aged 13 to 19 with exceptional leadership skills and a dedication to positive community change, the program embodies the Morse code for “V” in its name, symbolizing “victory” and reflecting the mission to overcome global challenges through the efforts of young visionaries.

During the summit, GTLs engage in activities, workshops, and mentorship sessions designed to enhance their leadership skills, foster collaboration, and provide a platform for sharing their initiatives. The program’s focus extends to projects addressing fundamental human needs such as food, water, health, shelter, education, safety, and the environment. The overarching goal is to create a more peaceful and interconnected global community through the tangible efforts of these young leaders.
