WHAT WE DO

OUR FELLOWSHIP
​The be.boosted fellowship enables ambitious students to develop their professional soft skills next to their studies by combining interactive online theory sessions with hands-on offline practice opportunities on valuable leadership skills such as public speaking, negotiation and group dynamics. It also helps to develop your career path by growing your network and fostering conscious life-decisions through alumni coaching and one-on-one mentoring. 

BEING A TRAINER
​​Those who have successfully completed the fellowship get the chance to put their leadership skills to practice by passing on their skills to the next generation of be.boosted fellows. Our trainers undergo extensive training during the summer and benefit from the guidance and experience of our senior trainers and board members throughout the fellowship.

ALUMNI NETWORK
​​be.boosted has an active community of alumni that you can benefit from well beyond your fellowship. Our regional groups organise regular events in places like Berlin, Munich, Cologne, London and Oxford and many of our alumni choose to give something back to the community through our mentorship programs.

WHO WE ARE

AIM
​be.boosted’s vision is to encourage ambitious students to develop and challenge the leadership style they need to drive the change they want to see in a democratic society. We believe that everybody can use their unique talents and passions to generate an impact when acquiring the right tools, skills and competencies. be.boosted helps develop these skills and supports this process with an individually adapted network, connecting like-minded people and further driving success. Our goal is to provide an environment for growth through our training and by constantly building  a living and closely interconnected network of inspiring people.

APPROACH
​At be.boosted, identifying and growing into the type of leader that we want to be builds on constantly receiving and providing feedback. When introducing and training a new skill in a variety of inputs and exercises, we put great importance on reflecting on new learnings, insights and challenges. The strength of our approach lies in the advice and support from like-minded peers who know and understand our struggles from their very own experience. be.boosted creates a safe space for its fellows to leave their comfort zone and push their limits, all the while giving each and everyone of them an honest appraisal of their strengths and areas of improvement . 

HISTORY
​In 2014, a handful of young and ambitious students noticed a lack of personal development programmes teaching young leaders like them the skills necessary to make an impact on the world. Interdisciplinary environments for growth were rather rare. be.boosted was created to offer a safe environment for personal growth and for the development of innovative ideas – regardless of political views, religion or income and regardless of the field students are passionate about. To apply the skills be.boosted builds, the competetive LIMUN & Harvard WorldMUN were chosen as the ideal training ground to test and further develop the competencies acquired in the fellowship.
