Global Citizen Year Academy

Our intensive leadership experience (delivered virtually) equips determined young people worldwide with powerful skills for a lifetime of social impact. The Academy is designed as a 5-10 hour per week commitment that adds an enriching layer of purpose to school, travel, or work. Students enroll in our signature leadership course, join talks with today’s most impactful changemakers, and receive personalized mentorship from a diverse pool of mentors. For those looking for deeper engagement, they can find volunteer opportunities through our network of impact partners -- organizations worldwide that are at the forefront of confronting our climate crisis, ending racial inequity, preventing the next pandemic, and more. At the end of the semester (12 weeks), Academy students have the confidence to take the reins on their education, and conviction to align their lives with the world’s needs.
