- THE MISSION -
The club exists to enable students to see how their passions can positively impact the global community.
What is a Global Citizens Club?
The Global Citizens Club is an after school program that provides like-minded students with an authentic platform to engage in international service-learning from the familiar confines of their home community. Students who join a Global Citizens Club learn about the world around them and the skills within them, using both - their knowledge and their skills - to impact the global community in a positive way.
GCC's emphasize intrinsic motivation, student leadership, glocal relationships (global + local), authentic learning, and of course, learning service.

What do Global Citizens Clubs do?
EDUCATE. ADVOCATE. RELATE.
While all clubs operate on a similar mission, philosophy, and loosely defined framework, the reality is that every club is uniquely different and special. They are defined by their own goals, vision, partnerships, and unique personalities of their students and leadership. However, all clubs work together to educate themselves and their communities, advocate for global issues and for the marginalized, and build relationships to relate locally and globally.
Where can I find a Global Citizens Club?
Each year, more and more schools become interested in starting a grassroots, student-led global initiative like OW's Global Citizens Club.
