Global Kids 5K Run/Walk

Thank you for supporting the Global Kids 5K Run/Walk!

Global Kids — the premier nonprofit organization for global learning and youth development — works to

ensure that youth from underserved areas have the knowledge, skills, experiences and values they need

to succeed in school, participate effectively in the democractic process, and achieve leadership in their

communities and on the global stage.

Global Kids is proud to host our 5K Run/Walk at Flushing Meadows Park on October 15, 2016. We expect

more than 400 alumni, students, staff members, donors and corporate team participants to join us.

Proceeds from the 5K Run/Walk will support the Global Kids College and Career Readiness Program,

which provides one-on-one support to students as they prepare for life after high school. Through this

program students can explore their options, go on college tours that include overnight trips, get help

with their college, scholarship and financial aid applications, attend career days, participate in internships

and receive job readiness training.
