Portland, Oregon- Global Citizen Corps (Mercy Corps)

Global Citizen Corps, a program of Mercy Corps, is a year long program that works with 500 youth leaders. Over one year, leaders work with Mercy Corps to get the training, knowledge, resources and tools to raise awareness and organize effective local actions that make a global impact. Leaders mobilize their schools and communities around a series of Global Action Days, which connect to international campaigns.
Leaders gain skills in four areas: Action Planning, Leadership Development, Multi-Media and Global Issues. With this training, leaders have the knowledge and skills to organize powerful actions that address the problems such as global health, hunger, climate change and lack of access to education. Their motto is Awareness + Action = Impact. We can change the world!
