Global Citizen Year

Global Citizen Year is a premier global bridge year program designed to unleash the potential of the next generation of young Americans as authentic leaders and effective agents of change. Each year, we recruit and train a diverse corps of high-potential graduating seniors and support them through a bridge year of service learning and leadership training in Africa, Latin America and Asia.   Through a world-class training and individual apprenticeships, our Fellows develop the skills and perspectives they need to succeed in college, careers, and a global economy. We invest in emerging leaders because we know that young people who have the opportunity to explore the world, and their role within it, approach the future with the passion and purpose they need to make an impact – on our nation and our world.
