OUR IMPACT
Global Kids educates, inspires, and mobilizes youth to become global citizens who are positively engaged in the world and are prepared for their future.
Global Kids envisions a world where young people have the education, inspiration, and support they need to pursue their goals – a world where young people have an understanding of communities outside of their own, and the tools to grapple with complex issues that impact all of our lives. A world where young people have the resources to thrive, the confidence to achieve their goals, and the principles and passion to be a global citizen.

Our Reach
School systems alone do not have the capacity to equip young people with the skills and resources to achieve academic success and global awareness. This hinders the ability of young people to grow into thriving, civically-engaged adults who are successful professionally and equipped to engage with issues that matter to their communities and the larger world around them.
