What Does It Mean to Be a Global Citizen?


The Global Citizen is above all a philanthropos, a friend to all mankind who seeks to help others. It is the Global Citizen who can make the grand-scale decisions that will shift the world onto a better, more secure and sustainable path. Why? Because the Global Citizen has vision and access, and is responsible, well-connected, effective and determined.

Global Citizens can reach out to more than one noble cause. This is what the Global Citizen Foundation stands for.

We are committed to making a difference by reaching out to children and young people in need. We focus on education, but also seek to contribute to the next generation of leaders and education policy worldwide.
