🚀 Take Action Lab: Accelerator
🤝 Circle of Service, in partnership with the Peace Corps Each year we select a diverse cohort of talented high school seniors as Fellows and provide them with opportunities to live and work in Brazil, Ecuador, India or Senegal during a bridge year before college. During their Global Citizen Year, Fellows are immersed in everyday life in a community a world away from home. Living with a host family and contributing to local projects in fields like education, health and the environment, Fellows break down the barrier between “us” and “them”, and between the classroom and the world. Through ongoing training and coaching from expert Team Leaders, Fellows develop the confidence, skills, and sense of purpose that set them up for success in college – and beyond. Beyond this, by forging lifelong relationships with host communities and a network of like-minded peers, Fellows discover that Global Citizen Year not just about the year -- it’s a fellowship for life. Some call it a “gap” year; we think it’s anything but a gap -- it’s a bridge to greatness. Think you have what it takes? Learn more at www.globalcitizenyear.org
