OUR MISSION

Global Minds is a for-youth by-youth organization that inspires students to form social bonds, intercultural friendships, and to consider global issues through youth led extracurricular activities.

OUR MODEL

START A CHAPTER

“Students feel comfortable here. Some have never participated in a club until now. They can be themselves and celebrate their differences with one another.”

In light of Covid-19 pandemic, Global Minds Initiative remains committed to fostering cross-cultural connection. With in-school programming on hold, Global Minds has shifted our focus to how we can mobilize and support our community virtually. We may be limiting physical contact and group gatherings, but that doesn’t mean we can’t socially convene online. The Global Minds Hub is still a great space to share—ideas about things to do while at home, cool opportunities that you’ve come across, or stories that inspired you! If you haven’t, download the Global Minds Hub today!
