Too often, youth in our nation's capital lack access to the education they need to become engaged citizens. Global Kids bridges this gap by equipping students with the essential tools to succeed. Through after-school programs, a citywide initiative, and partnerships with the Marion Barry Youth Leadership Institute, as well as the Department of Parks and Recreation, students explore global issues and their relevance to their own lives. They design and lead service-learning and civic engagement projects, learning how to drive change in their communities and beyond. College and career preparation are central to the programming, through partnerships and guest speakers ranging from diplomats and policymakers to international business leaders. In today’s evolving workforce, critical thinking, problem-solving, and global awareness are more essential than ever. Let’s empower our young people to step confidently into their future.
