Global Kids Youth Leaders planning a workshop

Global Kids is proud to host our 5K Run/Walk at the Flushing Meadows Park on October 15, 2016. We expect more than 400 alumni, current students, staff members, donors and corporate team participants to join us. Proceeds from the 5K Run/Walk will support 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.

For inquiries regarding sponsorships please contact GK’s Director of Development, Janice Holzman, at 212-226-2116 or janice@globalkids.org
