What is Global Leadership: 21st Century Service-learning?

With a host of challenges facing our communities, along with instant connectivity to a global society, civic literacy couldn’t be more relevant or applicable to the curricula in our schools. Global warming, immigration reform, pandemic diseases, and financial meltdowns are just a few of the issues today’s students will be called upon to address. Today’s students must be prepared to solve these challenges.

The Global Leadership Seminar was created by Project Wisdom, a 501 (c)(3) education-based non-profit organization, to provide WCPSS students with an authentic learning environment where they can develop the knowledge and skills necessary to become leaders, problem solvers, and difference makers in today's global community.
