Our Partners Global Kids Founded in 1989, Global Kids seeks to prepare urban youth to become global citizens and community leaders and ensure that young people of diverse backgrounds have the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to succeed in school and the workplace and participate in the shaping of public policy and international relations. The organization accomplishes its goals through comprehensive programs in the classroom and after school that emphasize cooperative learning, collaborative problem-solving, global education, and academic improvement. Students in the classroom explore the relationships between their own, immediate experience, current domestic and international issues, and the required curriculum. Youth in Global Kids' leadership programs engage in the study of world and local issues and in intensive training to develop critical thinking, communication, and group facilitation skills. The youth involved in our leadership program demonstrate a high school graduation rate of 98% and 95% go on to college, many with scholarships based on their leadership ability.
