Global Kids would like to thank you for your generous contribution. We are honored by your gift, which will help Global Kids continue pursuing its mission to inspire urban youth to achieve academic excellence and become informed global citizens. This summer, GK students expanded their horizons through service-learning trips to Bosnia and Costa Rica. They campaigned for education reform both nationally and globally, at the Free Minds, Free People Conference in Chicago and at the United Nations, where they heard Malala Yousafzai speak about the challenges young women face in order to receive an education in Pakistan. In NYC, our students designed new models for green roofs and enironmentally-conscious video games through our Environmental Justice Institute and our Playing for Keeps programs.
Through this range of innovative and challenging programming, Global Kids youth learned not only about the world around them, but also how to make an impact, in their schools, in their local communities, and on the global stage. Empowered with the skills necessary for academic achievement, civic engagement, and professional success, GK Leaders are poised for broad horizons and bright futures. Our work would not be possible without friends like you, and we are truly grateful for your support.
