Mission Statement
Global Game Changers Mission
Enrich. Empower. Engage.
To provide enriching educational programs that enhance student outcomes and empower all children to find their inner superpower to make the world a better place and become engaged citizens, using a simple equation: MY TALENT + MY HEART = MY SUPERPOWER!
Description
WHAT WE DO
Global Game Changers provides in-school and out-of-school providers, superhero-themed programming that empowers our youngest students - those in Pre-K - 5 th grade - to develop compassion, strengthen achievement, and discover their unique superpowers to help others and make the world a better place. We believe that every child, no matter who they are or where they come from, has the ability and the responsibility to make a difference.
Our standards-compliant curricula focus on children finding their special strengths through our Superpower Equation: MY TALENT + MY HEART = MY SUPERPOWER! The curricula are innovative and comprehensive resources supporting the development of civic engagement, enhancement of literacy, character development, and increased content knowledge in language arts and social studies through engaging activities, project-based learning, and service that promotes engagement rather than just exposure. Lesson plans and materials promote in-depth explorations into compassion and social-emotional learning, as well as self-compassion, mindfulness and nutrition.
