The communities where we live and work are multicultural microcosms of the world and tools like humility, empathy, and inclusion are needed now more than ever.
We believe teachers and social workers, policy makers, and thinkers and doers in every industry need a deep understanding of and first-hand experience with the
realities of diverse communities,
inequality, power, and discrimination.
Our Global Citizenship Awards Ceremony recognizes leaders who are creating change in their fields and communities and raises critical financial support for scholarships for the next generation of changemakers at the Chicago Center.
