Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Campfire
Our classroom-based programs use technology to integrate global perspectives and knowledge into the classroom. We empower educators to facilitate online communication between middle and high school students (ages 12-19) around the world – particularly among youth who have limited opportunities to connect with one another. Our Campfire programs are designed to be easily integrated and implemented in multiple learning settings–formal classrooms, after-school programs, and distance learning experiences –as well as with students who have varied learning styles, prior knowledge, preferences, and interests. Our at-home programs allow teens to explore the global issues that matter to them most through curated global content (images, videos, academic and journalistic articles) and the exchange of personal stories with their global peers – sharing about their lives, communities and cultures.
Seat at the Table
A virtual community where youth meaningfully interact, share stories, and form bonds across distance and difference. Small groups of peers (ages 16 to 19) from around the world come together for an hour-long, face-to-face virtual conversation to discuss their daily lives, hobbies, interests, identities, cultures, misconceptions, and what it means to be part of our ever-changing world.
Pulse
Pulse Programs are virtual town hall meetings that give students a forum to bring timely discussions into the classroom and give youth the opportunity to navigate difficult conversations alongside their peers. These interactive live-stream programs offer students the opportunity to learn from guest speakers and exchange perspectives with their peers using a live chat function.
