It has been a great experience working with the JKCF this year. Working closely with JKCF mentors, GW will be traveling with 4 students this summer in France, Peru/Ecuador, New Zealand/Fiji and China. This foundation helps lower income students of exceptional promise reach their full potential through education.
For the second year, GW is excited to work with Step Up to Excellence. This organization helps students “find a place in the world”. They offer support and experiences designed to broaden students’ horizons. They also help students disassemble falsely established limitations and grasp previously unattainable goals. We are looking forward to traveling with two energetic Step Up to Excellence students this summer! Website: http://www.stepuptoexcellence.org/
For the 4th year in a row, Global Works will be working with Summer Search. Their mission is to find resilient low-income high school students and inspire them to become responsible and altruistic leaders by providing year-round mentoring, life-changing summer experiences, college advising, and a lasting support network. Five students will be joining programs in 2011. Website: http://www.summersearch.org/
For the 3rd year in a row, Global Works has worked with Minds Matter. They are a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success. Three Minds Matter students will be joining Global Works this summer. Website: http://www.mindsmatter.org/index.asp
