PtC Corps: Global Leadership Program
January - August 2025 ​
​
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.
​
Track II - Spring Session: Civics & Culture and Alternative Spring Break / April – June 2025
Track II begins in the winter and runs through the spring. The program will continue with the monthly Meetup Sessions, and virtual Global Leadership and UN Sustainable Development Goals training. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to attend the PtC Corps: Alternative Spring Break program which includes a visit to the United Nations in New York City, the exploration of various cultures, global organizations and college programs.
​
Track III - Summer Session: Discovery Series & Global Youth Conference / July - August 2025
Track III begins with PtC Discovery Series where youth will have an opportunity to explore global aspects of the DC Metropolitan area through field trips, symposiums and an invitation to participate in the PtC Global Trek Study Abroad program. At the end of the summer, youth will assist in organizing the PtC Global Youth Conference where they will present and share their knowledge of what they have learned throughout the year to their peers. The conference will be open to all youth in the area.
Track III of the program may be linked with the DC Summer Youth Employment Program allowing youth to earn and learn. Youth will also be eligible for community service for successful completion of each Track.
