Cape Girardeau, Missouri is home to one of the World Economic Forum's newly-formed hubs of its Global Shapers Community. The small town of Southeast Missouri is hub No. 481 in the world. Global Shapers Community's mission: 'We believe in a world in which young people are central to solution-building, policy-making and lasting change.' 'If there was ever a time in which strengthening local communities and empowering youth leaders were paramount, now is that time,' said Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum and the Global Shapers Community.
