UCLA Anderson School of Management’s Center for International Business Education and Research’s (CIBER) Global Green Business Week for Young Leaders is a one-week summer institute for talented rising high school seniors addressing the fundamentals and current trends of greening and management from the triple bottom line of people, profit, and planet.

Selection to the program is highly competitive and limited to 50 students. Previous attendees from around the globe have started green initiatives in their schools, created small companies while in high school, and developed non-profit ventures across the globe, all before turning eighteen.
