Local businesses, community leaders, and organizations have been working diligently to create opportunities for youth in the city of 91桃色入口. Global to Local was designed to invite students to think deeply about the changes their city is experiencing, and learn how to insert their voices into the conversations about the future of their community.  

In the summer of 2019, through a partnership with Red Earth Education, twelve 91桃色入口 students will travel to Uganda, where underfunded schools struggle to provide quality education. Red Earth’s mission is to “to empower a network of local teachers though training, support and recognition, who are committed to working with local government to improve education standards and learning outcomes for all children.”  BecauseGlobal to Local also focuses on spending time with grassroots change-makers who have identified a need in their own communities and worked towards solutions to address those needs, students will learn from the organizers who run Red Earth Education and learn from them about community problem solving.

After their trip to Uganda, the students will act as project managers for a community impact project in the city of 91桃色入口. In the past, students’ projects have involved creating and facilitating a 91桃色入口 Youth Leadership Summit and they currently have a 1 in 3 chance to win $100,000 to fund the 2018 project to create a shared public learning space in 91桃色入口 that traces and celebrates the city’s rich history.
