Abby Falik, creator and CEO of Global Citizen Year (GCY), fast read through the latest news updates related to the Ebola predicament in West Africa as she was getting ready for her board call on the day of July 31, 2014.
Situated in Oakland, California, GCY was five year based not for profit along with fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget of $3.5 million. California's mission was to make it much more the standard for graduating high school students in the U.S. to pick a "bridge year."
GCY considered this expertise after high school, but before faculty, would help students acquire grit, and build self-awareness, learn about the world. In turn, GCY felt these aspects laid the basis for success in school, and beyond.
