Our Approach
Engaging the whole student
1) Sparking curiosity and critical thinking.
Students delve into specific global problems, generating funding for partner organizations working
2) Building empathy across oceans.
Students delve into specific global problems, generating funding for partner organizations working on-the-ground with issues including the climate crisis, young refugee-aid, or fighting hunger and food insecurity.
3) Learning by doing.
Students take direct action and see firsthand how they can make a difference. Abstract issues become tangible, and students gain the cognitive benefits that come from hands-on work.
