Our catalytic support of Global Glimpse, a travel and leadership education program founded in the San Francisco Bay Area, positioned it to generate ongoing, sustainable revenue, laying the groundwork for significant organizational growth and solidifying its partnership with a major corporate sponsor, United Airlines.
Global Glimpse targets high-potential high school students from disadvantaged neighborhoods and focuses on leadership development, community service and globalization education. Global Glimpse works with public high schools and college preparatory organizations, including Summer Search, to provide year-round programming that centers around a three-week summer experience in a developing country (including Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica and Nicaragua), with an extensive curriculum covering history, politics, culture, poverty, business, education and development.
Though not a traditional college preparation program, Global Glimpse’s experiential learning program helps students develop the skills they need to succeed in college.
