Building bridges across cultures and perspectives, fostering mutual understanding, and empowering students to become global citizens through meaningful intercultural experiences.
Our Values
Curiosity
We aim to ignite a desire to explore, understand, and connect with diverse cultures through our programming. Curiosity is the first step as we begin to navigate the complexities of global interactions with empathy, respect, and open-mindedness.
Advocacy
We empower students to actively engage in promoting awareness, mobilizing support, and effecting positive change on a global scale. Our programming focuses on collaborative learning, meaningful dialogue, and experiential engagement to bring advocacy to the forefront of our community goals.
Community
Above all, we aim to create a community that thrives on empathy, mutual respect, and appreciation for diverse experiences. Our programming creates opportunities for students to build meaningful connection and learn how to create and uphold community across differing identities.
