PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program
January  - August 2025 â€‹

​

The PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program is an innovative youth development initiative designed for students in grades 8 through 12. This program equips young leaders with essential leadership skills through the exploration and application of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By understanding these global objectives, participants will be empowered to make a positive, lasting impact on their communities and beyond.

​

Through a dynamic blend of STEM+Arts, Civic Engagement, and Service Learning projects, students will develop practical solutions that support the UN’s 2030 agenda. They will meet once a month virtually to engage with diverse content and ideas, then gather in person to collaborate in teams, implementing projects that drive meaningful change.

​

This program provides a unique opportunity for youth to build their leadership skills while actively contributing to a sustainable future, creating a generation of socially conscious, globally aware leaders.

​

PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program is a year round program that is divided into three tracks to diversify the learning experience. Following is an outline of the programs tracks.

​​

Track I - Winter Session: Discover Global DC / January - March 2025

Track I begins in the fall with an orientation session, monthly Meetup Sessions and virtual Global Leadership and UN Sustainable Development Goals training. As we lay the foundation for participation in the year-long program, youth will begin exploring various cultures through the arts, global themes, and global leaders.  â€‹
