The Global Citizen Project

The Global Citizen Project will see me, professional journalist Charyn Pfeuffer swap my BlackBerry for a backpack to volunteer with 12 community projects in 12 countries over 12 months. I've traveled around the globe in the name of work and have been profoundly impacted by the communities most underserved. I've been profoundly affected by these people and places and I want to give back, make a difference and bring awareness to the issues these communities face via my platform as a journalist. I plan to embark on this adventure in June 2010 and will commit a minimum of two weeks of volunteer service per month.

NOTE: If The Global Citizen Project is fully funded by its February 22, 2010 deadline, I will file with the IRS for non-profit 501(c)(3) status.
