Invest in 5,000 young change-makers

From our 10,000 participants across the globe this year, we’ve heard over and over the importance of fostering cooperation, empathy, and respect for all by all — affirming that our work, which began in 2003, persists in relevance even as the challenges that threaten our global unity change. 

We've seen that, this year so far, 92% of participants have improved their cross-cultural communication skills, 88% their collaborative problem-solving skills, 87% their critical thinking skills, and 91% improved their knowledge and/or interest in global events.

And here are just a few reflections we’ve gathered:

• “I loved interacting with people I might not have normally associated with. It broadened my perspective and views.” - participant, First Year Connect 
  
  
• “I learned how to work in a team, ask clarifying questions, and respect different points of view even if I don’t agree with them.” - participant, Connect Program
  
  
• “Convening a truly diverse and international group of people offers such a profound, unique, and meaningful learning experience. I loved that the learning was so practice-based.” - participant, Facilitation Training
