Thank you Council on Foreign Relations for welcoming Global Kids youth from Washington, DC to its Daughters and Sons series, and to Chef José Andrés for sharing his experience responding to hunger during times of crisis. Hearing directly from leaders working on these issues helps make global challenges tangible and relevant to our young people. During MLK Month of Action, this experience reinforced the importance of leadership rooted in service.

As Chef Andrés reminded our youth, "real leadership begins when we choose to show up for one another, especially in moments of crisis."

Black History Month is a time to celebrate the achievements, culture, and contributions of Black communities, past and present. It is also a moment to learn, reflect, and uplift the voices shaping our world today. This month, young people at Global Kids are honoring Black history through celebration, storytelling, and reflection, recognizing its impact now and for generations to come.

#blackhistorymonth #gkallday

To honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Global Kids spent MLK Day of Service turning his values into action.

Students across our schools led discussions, participated in service projects like our canned food drive, and learned how their efforts can support their communities. Through hands-on activities, teach-ins, and open conversations, young people connected Dr. King’s legacy to their own lives and experiences.

From classrooms to special events, these moments showed that honoring Dr. King is about helping young people understand that leadership starts with action.

#mlkdayofservice #mlkday #gkallday #futureleaders #communityservices

Voices from our Global Kids College and Career Martin Luther King Jr Day event reflect what happens when young people and professionals come together with purpose.

Service in action. During MLK Month of Action, young people across Global Kids partnered with @nycommonpantry to fight food insecurity in their communities. With a goal of collecting 1,000 canned goods, GK youth surpassed it reaching 1,005! Proof that youth leadership makes a real impact.

Way to go GK leaders, community members & partners!

It was a rewarding experience rooted in service, leadership, and care.

Closing out our 2025 #GKTop10 with a look back at the incredible student council leaders at PS 96 who, guided by Global Kids, participated in a real-world voting and participatory budgeting process that empowered them to add to the conversation and make their voices heard. Students learned how to evaluate proposals, facilitate elections, advocate at district meetings, and see civic engagement in action, and their participation delivered tangible results: new air conditioning units for their school cafeteria!

This November, Yaretzi Vargas, a junior at Renaissance Charter School and dedicated Global Kids leader, took youth leadership to the global stage as she represented Global Kids at COP30 in Belém, Brazil. At COP30, she participated in international discussions, hands-on workshops, and volunteer initiatives focused on climate action and sustainability, collaborating with youth leaders from around the world.

Beyond the conference, Yaretzi immersed herself in the rich culture, traditions, and environment of Brazil by exploring notable local spots like Mercado Ver-o-Peso, considered to be the largest open-air market in Latin America, and the Rodrigues Alves Zoological-Botanical Garden, a green haven in the bustling city of Belém. This historic space for environmental conservation and scientific education houses more than 2,500 native Amazonian trees and diverse species of regional fauna. Yaretzi also visited Mangal das Garças Zoobotanical Park, a natural refuge for Amazonian flora and fauna along the banks of the Guamá River featuring dryland forests, floodplains and fields.

Yaretzi took her passion for conservation back to the States, where she is taking an agriculture class at Renaissance Charter and will facilitate an upcoming segment of our citywide program to share the knowledge and experiences she gained from her international travels with her peers.

The Senior Extravaganza in June was a powerful reflection of our College & Career Readiness pillar in action. Bringing together seniors from across NYC, we honored their commitment to planning for their futures; from college pathways to career goals. As students were recognized with stoles, pennants, and awards, we celebrated not only where they’re headed, but the growth, resilience, and leadership that carried them there. The Class of 2025 will always be part of the Global Kids community, and we remain part of their journey wherever their paths may lead.

Global Kids held its last fundraising event with the GK 5K Run/Walk/Push Family Day, bringing students together to celebrate movement, wellness, and community. Beyond physical activity, the day highlighted teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of getting outside and supporting one another. Experiences like these remind us how social-emotional wellness and healthy habits go hand in hand, strengthening both mind and body while building lasting connections.

Throwback to keeping it SCHOOL for the Summer with Global Kids through various summer programs serving youth of all ages, hundreds of internships, and summer-recap-worthy field trips to destinations like Six Flags, Con Edison’s Learning Center, the Bronx Zoo, and the Philadelphia Zoo. ☀️

Middle schoolers matriculating to high school in the fall received vital support from GK to prepare them for success during this critical transitional period, while elementary and middle school students enrolled in Summer Rising participated in hands-on STEM enrichment and community-building activities.

With GK’s support, students were able to spend their summer months gaining real-world experience, building leadership skills and authentic connections, and preparing for the next chapter of their respective academic journeys.

Next on our #GKTop10 of 2025 is number 8️⃣ → GK Youth from our Washington, D.C. schools came together in May 2025 for a day of youth-led workshops, performances, and powerful guest speakers, all centered around the critical topic of Mental Health, a topic that the youth themselves selected. Youth heard from special guest speaker Victor Juárez of @tuconsejeriala , who shared about the work he is doing to bridge the gap of mental healthcare access among underserved populations in Guatemala.

In addition to games, prizes, and insightful discussions, students also shared resources and strategies for mental health advocacy and building healthy coping mechanisms through art therapy. 🧠💙

We’re kicking off our annual Top 10 of 2025 calendar year recap with some incredible memories from GK-DC students’ trip to Puerto Rico back in July. From exploring Afro-Puerto Rican heritage in Loíza to kayaking through glowing bioluminescent bays, hiking El Yunque’s rainforest waterfalls, and connecting with local youth, our GK leaders experienced culture, adventure, and community in a multitude of ways that will positively impact their leadership abilities and the way they look at the world for years to come.

These intrepid adventurers also toured historic San Juan, tasted authentic mofongo, learned about Taíno traditions, played soccer with new friends, and visited Nuestra Escuela, a school that, like Global Kids, is built on the foundational belief that every student’s voice matters.

From the classroom to the global stage, your support gives students the confidence to lead.

Abid, a 10th grade student at Bryant High School, is already shaping his community. This summer, he joined Global Kids’ SYEP PBL program, building leadership skills that carried into his role as a Field Lead on Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign.

Beyond school, Abid organizes for equity and dignity, is active in NYC-DSA, and launched a civic action club to help his peers become more engaged in the political process. His guiding belief comes from the quote “Give us bread and give us roses” — a reminder that everyone deserves both the essentials to live and the dignity to dream. Your support makes stories like Abid’s possible.

This holiday season, invest in young leaders who are creating a better future for all. https://bit.ly/3M5xVZ3

Flashback Friday for Native American Heritage Month 🌽📚
Students across Global Kids DC joined together for an Indigenous Heritage Month Tamalada, connecting food, history, and community. As they made (and ate!) tamales, youth learned about their pre-Columbian origins and how this tradition continues today in many Latino and Mexican-American families.

Through stations focused on global Indigenous foods, cultures, and laws, students reflected on identity, traditions, and how simple moments, like making tamales, can bring people together.

A day full of good vibes, teamwork, and cultural pride.

Leadership starts with action.

When Thandi first joined Global Kids in 10th grade, she wanted to fulfill a community service requirement – yet discovered a world far bigger than she knew. Drawn to our focus on global affairs and social justice, she became a youth leader and found a passion for environmental justice.

As a Global Kids Youth Ambassador, Thandi traveled to Dubai for the UN’s COP28 Climate Conference, where she engaged with new cultures, global leaders, and powerful ideas shaping our climate future.

“I see Global Kids’ impact in my leadership,” she says. “Global Kids taught me that I am not limited to what is around me.”

Imagine a future shaped by young leaders like Thandi: young people who understand the world and are prepared to change it. Your Giving Tuesday donation supports programs that build the next generation of global citizens.
