Next up in our series: meet Faith!

For Faith, afterschool offers something the school day doesn’t. With Global Kids, she and her peers get time to connect in smaller groups, where everyone has the space to share their voices and ideas. Check out some of the activities and trips that make afterschool special! 📸

More student stories coming this week!

There’s a reason we call it the GK5K.

We run, walk, and push forward so young people can explore the world beyond their classrooms, communicate about the issues that shape their communities, grow as leaders, and turn their ideas into meaningful action.

When our community comes together for the GK5K, we're doing more than just completing 3.1 miles. We're investing in the programs and opportunities that help young people discover their potential and become leaders in their communities.

Support our youth development programs by joining an existing team or starting your own fundraising page. The top individual fundraiser will be awarded two round-trip JetBlue tickets: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/globalkidsp2p/

There's still an opportunity to be part of what we're building for young people. Sign up for this year's GK5K: https://www.globalkids.org/5k

Why do we run, walk, and push?

Because the impact of the GK5K reaches far beyond the finish line.

We give young people the opportunity to explore global issues, strengthen their leadership skills, advocate for the causes they care about, and become active changemakers in their communities.

The GK5K helps sustain to this work and expands what's is possible for young people. When our students, families, staff, volunteers, and supporters come together on race day, they demonstrate a shared commitment to creating opportunities for young people to find their voices, develop as leaders, and shape their communities. That's why we run. That's why we push. That's why we walk. And that's why every step matters.

Thank you for all you do to make our communities stronger, our future brighter, and our hopes higher. Community School Coordinators & Directors, you rock!

From organizing college trips that open doors to new possibilities, to connecting young people with real-world work opportunities, to guiding our younger students through leadership and service projects, our Community School Coordinators & Directors are dedicated to developing future leaders at every stage. They don’t just support students; they empower them to discover who they are, build leadership skills that last a lifetime, and engage meaningfully with their school community and the world beyond it.

They see the whole young person, and their families too, fostering the wellness, inclusion, and sense of opportunity every student deserves.

To every Community School Coordinator or Director: thank you for preparing our young people to be informed, purpose-driven individuals who advocate for their communities. You’re shaping global citizens and brighter futures, one relationship at a time.

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month 🌎
Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to honor the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities, and to celebrate the connections that bring people together across borders.
In that spirit, we're sharing photos from 2008: a trip to Mexico City where seven young people traveled together for a conference, part of Global Kids' Human Rights Activist Project (HRAP). The trip brought together students from different faiths and backgrounds, engaging in dialogue and building understanding as global citizens. It opened their eyes to new perspectives and possibilities, from career paths to ways of engaging with the world, reflecting what Global Kids is all about: learning, connecting across cultures, and turning that learning into action.

GK alumni, do you see any familiar faces?
