Our Program

New Global Citizens' innovative program combines the passion, connectivity, and resources of Generation Y with the solutions of grassroots social entrepreneurs around the world to create change on a global scale.

Young people—anywhere in the United States—can start an NGC Team on their high school campus. Once formed, teams select one of NGC's global partner projects and set goals around three main objectives that form the core of our program. Teams determine how they will 1) educate their community about the challenges faced by their partner project, 2) advocate on behalf of a pressing global issue, and 3) raise the financial resources necessary to effect real change on the ground floor in their partner community. In turn, NGC provides comprehensive education, training, and support to teams through full-time staff, interactive trainings, online audio streams, resource materials, site visits, and a vast network of peers across the country.

One of the best aspects of the NGC program is that it is entirely free to team-starters! Teams can start up anywhere and at any time. Moreover, one hundred percent of the monies teams raise for their chosen partner projects is transferred to that specific project.

By the end of the program year, NGC teams have a direct impact in communities around the world that are faced by some of the greatest challenges of our time. We can only imagine the impact as these young people go on to become life-long leaders, community educators, and advocates for change on a global scale.
