Founded in 2013, Global Game Changers Student Empowerment Program (GGC), a 501(c)(3), is an innovative evidence-based social-emotional learning solution that uses service-learning as a vehicle to empower students to IGNITE GOOD!™ and give back using our equation: MY TALENT+MY HEART=MY SUPERPOWER™. Nurturing the whole child, students develop skills in leadership, empathy, and character that lead to successful and engaged citizens. Using engaging tools, our program incorporates the GLOBAL GAME CHANGERS, a team of fictional scrappy kid superheroes who help real-life kids discover their unique superpower to IGNITE GOOD!™ and battle their archnemesis, Krumi, a dark cloud who spreads apathy throughout the world. GGC’s curriculum promotes deeper learning experiences for in-school, at-home, and out-of-school applications via its user-friendly online educator platform. Committed to equitable access for all, our curriculum is privately funded by the Lift a Life Novak Family Foundation and FREE to educators and parents nationwide.
