Global Visionaries

It was with deep sadness that we share difficult news: Global Visionaries is closing. Like many nonprofits, we’ve struggled to recover from the pandemic’s financial impact and have not been able to fully fund the program. Despite fundraising efforts, staff reductions, and scaled-back planning, we cannot sustain operations.

As we close this chapter, the board will be hosting a closing celebration to honor the people, programs, and ideas that made GV so special. Please join us on Nov 7 from 6-8:30pm for an evening of shared stories, a meal, and gratitude. Click below for details and tickets (suggested price is $20 - pay what you can).

We are thrilled to share a recent article highlighting the inspiring journey of Global Visionaries' Executive Director, Mila Sandoval. As an alumna of the program, Mila's transformative experiences in Guatemala ignited her passion for social justice and youth empowerment. Under her guidance, students are developing as changemakers through service, cultural immersion, and a deep commitment to social justice.

We’re currently accepting applications for our Early and Late Summer Programs, an incredible opportunity for youth to build confidence, develop leadership skills, and engage in meaningful service both locally and globally. If you know a young person who’s ready to grow their global leadership skills, we’d love to welcome them into our community!

Want to support youth leadership even further? Join us at our upcoming Global Visionaries Gala on May 17th at the Pacific Tower and help us continue building the next generation of changemakers. Register today at bit.ly/gvgala25
