GLA is unique because of its focus on learning first-hand about global issues and human rights.

NGC Alumni Opportunities 

New Global Citizens Internships

NGC offers a number of internships within our organization.  Our headquarters is in Phoenix, AZ - however, we have a number of opportunities for interns to meaningfully contribute online. 

The OXFAM CHANGE Initiative offers college students, at U.S. based campuses, entering their sophomore or junior year the opportunity to become effective social change agents.  CHANGE Leaders are exposed to the international development issues that inform Oxfam's work and apply their skills and insights to run Oxfam campaigns on their campuses and in their communities.

ASU College of Public Programs (COPP) is recruiting passionate, committed, globally minded leaders in the same way NCAA athletes are recruited. They offer six degree programs aimed at giving students a hands-on experience in the areas of social work, nonprofit management, tourism, parks and recreation, and urban studies. ASU gives NGC students direct access to staff and current students to help them explore COPP programs. They also work directly with ASU Admissions, Scholarships, and Financial Aid offices to ensure NGC students are financially supported.

Spirit of Service Scholars is an ASU COPP initiative. ASU's Spirit of Service Scholars program goal is to bring new talent, new ideas, and new energy to our changing nation as we journey into the future.

If you are a high school senior searching for a path that will highlight your strengths, and lead to a meaningful and important career, please contact ASU to learn more about how you can be a service scholar.  Learn more about opportunities with COPP and their Spirit of Service Scholars.

Are you interested in traveling abroad after high school? Check out Thinking Beyond Borders a 35-week educational program designed for Gap Year students - a period of time between high school and college to gain valuable, real world learning. Participants travel to seven countries to study global development issues from social, political and economic perspectives.  They then return to the U.S. to meet with the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Homeland Security and the Grameen Foundation.  The final component includes creating 45-minute multimedia pieces and presenting them to audiences around the U.S.   

Tufts University is located just outside of Boston and offers the dynamic, personalized academic environment of a small liberal arts college with the resources and opportunities which exist at large research universities.  With an undergraduate community of just 5000 students living and learning on the rolling green hillside campus 15 minutes on the subway from downtown Boston, Tufts represents the best of both worlds.
