PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program
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 (UN SDGs). The PtC Curriculum segments of STEM + Arts, Civic Engagement, Culture and Service Learning projects allow PtC Corps members to associate the UN SDG's with practical experience. ​
​
PtC Corps members will develop practical solutions that support the UN’s 2030 agenda in their own communities. 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. By understanding the UN SDG's, participants will be empowered to make a positive, lasting impact in their communities and beyond.
​
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.
