The Global Youth Village is a unique summer program that truly inspires young people to achieve their highest potential. Teens from around the world come together and discuss global issues and develop their leadership and dialogue skills while creating unforgettable memories with their new friends from all over the U.S., U.K. Egypt, Nigeria, China, Germany etc. They find common ground living, working, and studying with each other and become inspired to 'be the change.' Traditional summer fun activities like pottery, swimming, rock climbing, ping pong etc add balance to the morning workshops.
