Global Citizens Challenge
Nominate a Student OR a Classroom!
“Our students come from many communities across Northern and Central New Jersey. We have a mix of students from various socioeconomic backgrounds, and many receive funding from their school districts to afford this educational experience. The Your Big Year Global Citizens Challenge is an eye-opening and life-changing experience for our youth”. - The Craig School, New Jersey.
After working with multiple students and teachers across the previous Global Citizens Challenges, we are thrilled to bring back the option of nominating. You can nominate either an entire classroom or an individual student (s). This opportunity allows your students to see other perspectives, collaborate with other students and young people from across the globe and the chance for them to discover more about their own culture too!
Who can nominate? Educators, program leaders, organizations and parents! Must be 15 - 20 years old.
How do you work with classrooms? They participate like every other participant except we offer a special orientation time, to fit into your class schedule and offer program schedule adjustments as well to allow you to mesh this opportunity into your classroom agenda!
Application Deadline: February 15, 2024 (after the official period closes, we’ll only be taking applications from selected institutions)
Note: Educators have used this opportunity and integrated into class projects/ into their class curriculum seeing very positive results for their students learning.
