About Globalhood
Globalhood is an international development non-profit organization based in New York. Founded in 2007, Globalhood’s mission is to bring together people and resources from across disciplines and cultures to create innovative projects and to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of other organizations. Along with consulting for other organizations, Globalhood also has its own projects including See Bulgaria, a film-making program teaching underserved Bulgarian youth to document pressing problems in their communities.
