I don’t know if you’ve been watching much tv lately, but here in Chicago every commercial seems to be for a political candidate. These people keep claiming that they’re going to make the world a better place, but I’m not very optimistic. Politicians are a necessary evil, I guess, but what we really need more of is social entrepreneurs—people who truly put everything that they have into solving some of the world’s problems. Global Visionaries is a Seattle, WA based non-profit that “empowers youth from diverse socio-economic, ethnic, racial, and geographic backgrounds to become active leaders and global citizens who promote justice.” Young people (like you and me) are our best hope for social change, and Global Visionaries is all about providing even younger people (high schoolers) with opportunities to start making a difference through a variety of community development projects.
Global Visionaries’ programs combine localized leadership training with “a cultural immersion trip to Guatemala, and local and international service projects focused on social justice and environmental conservation.” And one of the interesting things that Global Visionaries does with their programs is that they intentionally “bring together 50% of [their] participants from low-income families and 50% from middle/upper income families.” Beyond their headquarters in Seattle, WA and Antigua, Guatemala, they also have satellite offices in San Francisco and Northern Colorado. Right now they only have one job posted in their Seattle office, but it seems perfect for a new grad. Global Visionaries is looking for a Development and Executive Assistant. Check it out and see if it sounds like something that you want to do.
