Proceeds from the Global Kids 5k Run/Walk will support Global Kids’ College and Career Readiness Program, which provides critical programming and support to youth as they prepare for life after High School. Throughout this program, youth explore their academic and career options and set goals, receive one to one support with the college application process, participate in career days with partner organizations and corporations, engage in panel discussions with professionals from multiple sectors, receive career readiness training, go on college trips, and have opportunities to be placed in internships and summer work experiences. This program is more important than ever due to COVID – students are learning online, not getting the support they need to apply to college. GK is providing one-on-one support to ensure they are successful.
