Why a Global Citizen Year?
Imagine the potential of a new generation of Americans who are inspired and empowered to change the world. Before college, take a “Global Citizen Year” to question your assumptions and develop the critical knowledge, skills and perspectives for a life of engaged global citizenship. Enter college with a clearer idea of the world and your place in it. Bring an important perspective to your campus community and your deeper appreciation and understanding of some of the most complex issues facing the world today. Make the most of your higher education. Become part of the new generation of social innovators who have the insight and conviction needed to combat poverty and inequity in communities at home and around the world.
