The GCSP encourages the establishment of Alumni Community Hubs to foster a greater sense of union among GCSP alumni living in the same area and to create a global community in international security policy.

GCSP Alumni Community Hubs can be diverse in nature; from large, formally structured organisations to more informal ones. The hubs are founded and run on a voluntary basis by local alumni.
