“The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.”
— Thomas Paine, American Founding Father
There’s no avoiding the truth: us middle and high schoolers are the future generation of our world. Yes, there is a lot of tension in our polarized world today, but given that we are the leaders of tomorrow, it is up to us to fix it. Hence, to ensure a sustainable future for our generation and the generations to come, we have to acknowledge the foundational problems and not just brainstorm, but truly act upon effective solutions.
One of the main underlying obstacles in our world today is a lack of understanding, prevalent in every facet of life. Much too often, people don’t understand one another, an issue that is further exacerbated by the limited resources available in our world. The Global Citizens Association aims to overcome this by providing these resources to educate ourselves on the diverse array, a tapestry of faiths, beliefs, cultures, and values.
If you would like to join us on this mission, students and educational staff alike, please consider starting a chapter of GCA at your own school, provide resources to increase our interfaith and intercultural understanding, and overcome the foundational problems of society by taking them down, one misunderstanding at a time.


If you are passionate about helping us fulfill our mission, the process to establish a chapter of the Global Citizens Association at your own school is simple! Just contact us via email (provided in the contact section of this website) with a subject titled: “Application – GCA Chapter at [Your School]”. In the message, be sure to inform us of your name, your grade, your email address (preferably your school email), school name, school address, and full name of your teacher advisor. Also, include a 3-5 sentence paragraph explaining why your school would benefit from a chapter of GCA. Once we read through the application, we will send you all the materials you will need to run your bi-monthly meetings within 5-7 business days, as well as recommendations as to how you can personalize it to your own school.
