Global Citizen Year

Global Citizen Year recruits and trains a diverse corps of high school graduates to engage as apprentices in Asia, Africa, or Latin America during a full immersion “bridge year” before college. GCY Fellows spend 10 months in an intensive fellowship learning a new language, becoming integral members of a community, and working on the frontlines of today's global challenges. In collaboration with top universities, business and social sector leaders, we provide our Fellows with ongoing training in leadership, global development, and social entrepreneurship. Fellows return with the critical perspectives and skills needed to succeed in college and beyond. Read it for yourself on our Fellows' Blog or see our latest video from the field.  

We are looking for young people with exceptional passion and potential, and we work with each family to find ways to make the experience financially accessible. Full scholarships for our 2011-2012 Fellows are available.
