About Us

Our Mission

Enable administrators, educators, and students to reimagine the what, why, and how of education through global citizenship-focused learning experiences that integrate mindful living, Empathy to Impact design, inner- and outer-sustainability, reciprocal service learning and community engagement, sustainability education, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

Provide our global community with consistent on-the-ground evidence and demonstrations of holistic global citizenship through the voices and vignettes of diverse students and educators worldwide.

Empower school leaders with implementation systems, frameworks, progress monitoring tools, accountability structures, and coaching to live their missions of global citizenship.

 

 

Our Why

We believe students, educators, schools, and storytelling can and will shape a more sustainable, just, and joyful future through holistic global citizenship.

We believe in the power of education to evolve and contribute to a better world: Teaching and applied learning that develops compassion, connection, understanding, and action for the interdependent well-being of ourselves, our communities, and our planet.

 

 

What We Do

Our Framework

We help schools transform learning through Empathy to Impact, a framework developed by Inspire Citizens. It empowers educators and students to reimagine projects and experiences, fostering deeper purpose, applied skills, student leadership, and meaningful community engagement. Simple yet powerful, it turns everyday learning into opportunities for real-world impact.

 

School Partnerships

We develop whole school systems for Global Citizenship Education, and we support administrators, educators, and other school stakeholders to implement these systems over long-term partnerships.

 

We meet schools where they are, offering multiple pathways to advance their global citizenship goals in ways that fit their context and priorities.

Inspire Educators

We equip educators with tools, frameworks, and coaching to integrate Global Citizenship into their teaching through the Empathy to Impact design framework.

Inspire Students

We empower students to become changemakers through leadership support, micro-credentials, and events, helping them develop skills for meaningful local and global impact.

Inspired Experiences

We take learning beyond the classroom. Our hands-on, community-based experiences foster empathy, global awareness, and active student engagement.
