Global Citizen Year:

High School Seniors - Call for Fellows!
Global Citizen Year is preparing a generation of Americans to create innovative and effective solutions to the global problems of the 21st century. To do this, we train a corps of high school graduates and support them through apprenticeships in Asia, Africa, and Latin America during a bridge year before college. We are now recruiting our next class of Fellows (current high school seniors) and would love your help spreading the word. Deadlines: January 15 & March 15, 2010. Click here to learn more about Global Citizen Year.

3 Ways to Help:

* We recently hired a national organizer to travel around the nation and mobilize potential applicants. Host him at your organization to make a pitch!
* Share the opportunity with your community via blog or email or social network
* Request GCY postcards - see attached

Resources:

* To get a better sense of Global Citizen Year, we'd recommend watching our Fellows' broadcast from the field
* "GCY Experience" & "Deciding to Join" interactive presentations
* Selection Criteria


Please email wil@globalcitizen.org if you have any questions!

Wow, this looks like a great program! I wish this had been around (or that I had known about it) when I was graduating.

This does sound very cool! I keep finding all these great things for high school seniors or college students that I would have loved to have done but sadly, I am no longer a high school senior or college student! Oh the perils of aging...

I put up a link to the website on PJNE's Facebook Fan page so our high school seniors could check it out and will be sending out a "tweet" about it as well!
