Part pep rally, part global summit, the World Savvy Festival is an annual culminating event for middle and high school students participating in the World Savvy Classrooms program. The day long event brings students from different schools together to share and get feedback on their research and action plans to address global issues that have local impacts. Students also engage with each other through a mini design challenge.
This year, the theme for the festival is Breaking Barriers . Students have been researching human trafficking, educational inequities, pollution, teen suicide and mental health, Black Lives Matter, food deserts, domestic violence, renewable energy, and more.
On Festival day, we’re looking for volunteers to help:
- Serve as judges , meeting with groups of students to listen to them present their projects and offer feedback using a rubric.
- Serve as facilitators, guiding one or more groups of students through a mini Knowledge 2 Action, design thinking workshop.
- Serve as operations volunteers, helping with various logistics throughout the day such as guiding and greeting students, handing out lunch, and registration.
- Most volunteer shifts will be from 9:30am-2:30pm.
This event would not be possible without our volunteers. We hope to see you there!
Thank you!

Mission Statement
World Savvy educates and engages youth to learn, work, and thrive as responsible global citizens in the 21st century.
Description
World Savvy prepares the next generation of leaders to learn, work and thrive as responsible global citizens in the 21st century. We support systemic change in K-12 education to provide every student in every classroom with the content knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to be leaders and changemakers in their diverse communities, locally and globally.
World Savvy was founded in San Francisco by Dana Mortenson and Madiha Murshed in response to a critical need for youth to acquire global knowledge and 21st century skills within the conspicuous absence of global education programs in K-12 education in the United States. Since that time, we have grown from serving 90 students and 20 teachers in our first year, to reaching more than 250,000 youth and 2000 teachers since we began from three offices nationally: San Francisco, Minneapolis-St.Paul and New York.
This growing need for true global competency in our increasingly diverse and interconnected local & global communities has helped to propel World Savvy into a national leader in global education. Our dynamic programs and services help youth in middle and high school learn howto think rather than what to think about critical global and community issues, which are often complex and unaddressed in school, and have enormous implications for their local community.
