Join the NetAid Global Citizen Corps

Want to make a difference in the lives of the world's poor? Think we can do more to tackle problems like HIV/AIDS and hunger?

Join the NetAid Global Citizen Corps (GCC), is national network of high school student leaders working to educate and mobilize their peers in efforts to end global poverty. The application deadline for the 2006-2007 school year is May 7, 2006.

Each year, NetAid selects a diverse group of passionate and committed high school students to become GCC Leaders. Following an intensive training, either in-person or online, GCC Leaders implement Global Action Days in their schools and local communities to raise awareness about global poverty and encourage their peers to take action. Throughout the year, GCC Leaders network with each other and receive tools, resources and support through the GCC Online Action Center.

To qualify for the GCC, you must be attending a U.S. high school during the 2006-2007 school year. You also must be willing to:

• implement Global Action Days at your school
• report back to NetAid on your impact
• participate in the GCC Online Action Center

While all GCC Leaders are trained in the Online Action Center, each summer, a select group of Leaders have the opportunity to attend the GCC summit in New York City. The summit gives Leaders the opportunity to meet like-minded students from across the country, interact with experts in the field and develop their skills as leaders in efforts to make poverty history. More information about the GCC summit can be found in the Summer Summit section of the application.

Turning their learning into action, GCC Leaders implement a series of Global Action Days in their schools and local communities which raise awareness about global poverty, generate media attention, and mobilize their peers in effective campaigns.
