About Global Kids, Inc.
Members of Global Kids.
Founded in 1989 and an independent not-for-profit organization since 1993, Global Kids’ (GK) mission is to transform urban youth into successful students and global and community leaders by engaging them in socially dynamic, content-rich learning experiences. Through leadership development and academic enrichment programs, Global Kids uses interactive and experiential methods to educate youth about critical international and public policy issues and provides them with opportunities for civic and global engagement.
Over the past sixteen years, Global Kids has reached over 70,000 youth and built strong relationships with the Department of Education and various schools throughout the five boroughs of New York City. In addition, GK’s unique work is augmented by strong partnerships with numerous other organizations, including Adelphi University, the Council on Foreign Relations, Ping Chong Theatre Company, New School University, and the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
