Education is one of the most critical components of making a positive change in a young person’s life and creating sustainable change in the communities where they live and work. Through the Global Effect Education Program, young adults are provided opportunities they could only dream about in the past that empower them to break the cycle of poverty mentally, spiritually, socially, and economically.

We realized that the students who had the “right stuff” to be a positive role model and leader in their community had no financial resources or options to further their education beyond high school and obtain the knowledge base necessary to be a great leader in their community. This is why we started the Global Effect Education Program.​

Leadership Academy

Students can first enter our Education Program as high school seniors by participating in our 36-week Leadership Academy. Participants go through an extensive application and interview process before being accepted into the program. Once selected, students receive spiritual discipleship, character and leadership development, and soft skills training. Classes are held for 3.5 hours every Saturday for an entire school year. 
​

University

If students successfully complete the Leadership Academy, they become eligible for our Higher Education Program and are given the opportunity to attend either a private university or our Global Effect Career Institute. Earning a professional degree or acquiring a skilled trade gives them greater ability to break the cycle of poverty in their lives and families.

Sponsorships

We rely on financial sponsorships from donors to scholarship the students who  attend university. Sponsorships cover the cost of tuition, books, transportation, hardship assistance, ongoing discipleship, counseling and more! We have many students still in need of sponsors.
