ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE
Mission & vision
Global Citizen Year (www.globalcitizenyear.org) is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization dedicated to creating a year of global immersion between high school and college that unlocks a lifetime of potential. Each year, we recruit and train a diverse corps of high potential, high school graduates from across the U.S. and support them through apprenticeships in Asia, Africa and Latin America before they begin college. Through an innovative, cross-sector model, we are re-envisioning the transition to college as an opportunity for emerging leaders from all backgrounds to develop the empathy, global fluencies, and skills needed to succeed in college and as leaders in 21st century careers.
Our organization combines the best of private and public sector management to create a high-impact, growth-oriented social enterprise. Since our launch in 2009, we have built significant momentum among top investors ($3.5M raised), prominent media (New York Times, Associated Press, Huffington Post) and reputable partners (leading NGO's, colleges and companies). We attract and retain top talent in the field by providing competitive compensation and exceptional opportunities for personal and professional development.
Values
Our core values are at the heart of everything we do, and we look for individuals who share our commitment to the following:
- People: We hold people's dignity and well-being at the heart of our words and actions, and strive to build a high-performance and humane organization based on trust, respect for difference, and individual responsibility.
- Potential: We believe that all people have the capacity to learn, grow and thrive and we are optimistic that through innovation, and collaboration across sectors we can create a more peaceful, sustainable and prosperous world.
- Impact: We go above and beyond to expand the number of beneficiaries we serve, and we prioritize getting things done efficiently, while making a tangible and measurable difference to our Fellows, our communities at home, and our communities abroad.
