Our Call to Action:
To inspire youth to become engaged global citizens
How:
Our program provides youth with a global perspective, an opportunity to create change, and the tools to act on their passion to make a difference.
What We Envision As A Result Of Our Work:
All youth will have the opportunity to become engaged global citizens who embrace their critical role as leaders, philanthropists, and change agents.
Our Compass:
- Youth Centered: We believe in the capacity, energy, passion, and innovation of youth.
- Collaboration: We harness the power of networks.
- Community: We trust in grassroots, locally led solutions.
- Diversity: We unite diverse perspectives, experiences, and people.
- Integrity: We operate in an honest, socially conscious, and ethical manner.
- Leadership: We have the courage to shape a better world.
Our call to action directly informs both why and how we engage youth in sustainable global change.
The NGC Team Experience
New Global Citizens believes that young people are uniquely poised to
tackle our most pressing global issues. Students in our program learn
about NGC and lead the formation of their team on high school campuses
across the U.S.
Teams specifically focus on the challenges addressed in the 8 UN
Millennium Development Goals (extreme poverty, universal primary
education, gender equality, child mortality, maternal health, HIV/AIDS
and other diseases, environmental sustainability, and sustainable local
economies) and 2 additional challenges of great importance that were identified by our team members (natural
disasters and armed conflict).
These Issue Areas provide a framework for taking action as each team selects an NGC Global Project
to raise awareness and resources for within their community. Global
projects are community organizations located in countries across the
globe that have been identified through partnerships with reputable international development organizations.
Global Projects must be grassroots (i.e. community led and driven),
sustainable, and of a nature where a small investment of resources makes
a tremendous impact on the project community.
The NGC Team Experience transforms youth possessing an interest in
global issues and activism into informed, effective, and empowered
life-long advocates of sustainable global change.
Support our efforts. Join the NGC Team Experience.
