OUR ROOTS

AT GLOBAL GLIMPSE, WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF

PERSPECTIVE

TEN YEARS AGO, ONE MAN HAD AN IMPOSSIBLE VISION.

TODAY, THAT VISION IS A REALITY. In 2007, at age 30, Abbas Hasan left his corporate consulting job in San Francisco, CA. Raised by immigrant parents in rural Ohio and blessed with a great education, business success, and the opportunity to travel the world, he felt he had to give back.

His travels and work in the developing world led to an idea: if diverse groups of young Americans had the opportunity to directly experience life in a developing country, the exposure would open their eyes and change their lives. If that happened on a large enough scale, a new and diverse generation of

American leaders would emerge that could truly change the world. That was the impossible vision.

In 2008, Abbas led the first three delegations of high school juniors from ten low-income Bay Area high schools to Nicaragua. The experience changed their lives and his. He realized that travel had a unique power to bring young people from disparate backgrounds together. Now ten years into this journey, we remain unwavering in our commitment to inspire young Americans to become responsible global citizens.

“Educating our youth is the most important work out there.

As a teacher, I have global aspirations. I want my students to value the importance of social change and global awareness.”

JONATHAN HO

2008 ALUMNUS (SAN JOSE, CA)

Raised by Vietnamese immigrant parents, Jonathan was the first in his family to attend college and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton.

After pursuing a career in finance, Jonathan returned to his hometown to teach math and science at Silver Creek High School where he introduced Global Glimpse and now runs the program as a Global Glimpse Leader.

THE CHALLENGE AMERICAN YOUTH LACK FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS TO SUCCEED IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITY

GLOBAL COMPETENCE

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Youth from disadvantaged, segregated communities are not offered gateway opportunities that could support them to break the cycle of poverty and inequality.

Success today demands a high level of global and multicultural competence.

Young people in the US are falling behind their international peers in understanding and preparing for the future.

Low-income and minority youth need additional support to develop the skills they need to realize their potential to actively engage in improving their local and global communities.

GLOBAL GLIMPSE IS TAKING ON THE CHALLENGE TO: Provide educational experiences to all students that fundamentally change their trajectories.

Bring together youth from disparate backgrounds to share the responsibility of global citizenship.

Establish a culture of global understanding, leadership, and civic engagement in U.S. high schools.

WE WILL FUEL THIS TRANSFORMATION WITH A COMMITMENT TO

SCALE

We make our programs accessible to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

We invest in long-term partnerships with U.S. schools, organizations, and international partners.

We reach as many students as possible while maintaining an unwavering commitment to quality.

“Global Glimpse allowed

me to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

The U.S. is very diverse, but rarely do you get to experience something like this in our country.”

AJA SELDON

PARTNER PHILOSOPHY We believe in the power of collaboration. We build sustainable, long term partnerships with college preparatory organizations, high school educators, and international communities and we do not outsource any of our international programs. We hire majority local staff, invest in local business, and support organizations rooted in local communities and committed to sustainable change.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS

PARTNER HIGH SCHOOLS AND EDUCATORS

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY PARTNERS

We partner with 6 national college preparatory organizations including Summer Search and SEO Scholars to serve over 100 students annually.

Volunteer educators dedicate over 80 hours throughout the school year and 3 weeks during the summer to support the Global Glimpse program at their school.

Each year, 500+ partners in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, and Ecuador open their business, communities, organizations, homes, and hearts to our students.

“Since 2011, Global Glimpse has provided our students with transformative international experiences. Summer Searchers are exposed to new cultures and ways of living that open their eyes and serve as a catalyst for self-reflection and empathy. They return home with the motivation and skills they need to succeed in college and beyond.”

“The strategies in Global Glimpse’s curriculum have put things into perspective for me as a teacher and I have incorporated them into my teaching practice both inside and outside the classroom. Through Global Glimpse, I’ve built relationships that empower my students to take on leadership opportunities at school.”

“For the last four years, Global Glimpse has become a family to me. There is nothing more beautiful than working with people who are so dedicated and passionate.

I consider it a blessing; not only for me, but for our community in León and everyone whose lives have been impacted

by Global Glimpse in Nicaragua.”

,

In order for Americans to deeply understand their place in a global society, we must significantly increase the number of young Americans who are exposed to the developing world.

To that end, Global Glimpse has set an ambitious goal to expand our program to serve 5,000 students annually by 2021.

19

PTIMIZ

Global Glimpse has developed a highly-effective, sustainable model to make leadership development and global education accessible to all.

Currently, over 70% of our ongoing operations are covered by earned revenue.

In order to prepare for significant growth, we must increase our earned revenue while maintaining our commitment to provide majority low-income youth with the highest quality programs in the field.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY 1

OPTIMIZE OUR PROGRAM AND FINANCIAL MODEL TO BE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT.

20

• Enhance financial sustainability by increasing earned revenue, optimizing program pricing, and streamlining U.S. and international operations.

• Refine programs, outreach strategies, and marketing to better meet unique market needs in low-income and affluent school communities.

• Develop an online platform that standardizes program curriculum and expands opportunity for program expansion outside of our regional focus areas.

“Being in Nicaragua

reminded me of Sri Lanka and how far I’ve come.

I’m more passionate about my future and I know I’ll make my parents proud.”

FATHIMA MUJAHED

2013 ALUMNA (EMERYVILLE, CA)

Having escaped the civil war in Sri Lanka, Fathima saw firsthand the devastating impact of scarce medical resources. The connections she made with children on her Global Glimpse trip further inspired her to become a pediatrician. Fathima studies Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of California, Davis and is the first in her family to graduate high school and attend college.

AXIMIZ 22

Global Glimpse provides powerful personal and professional development experiences for students and educators. Our programs inspire commitment from highly engaged volunteer educators and alumni.

In order to prepare for next stage growth, we will deepen impact in our partner schools and recruit new school partners. We will leverage our educator and alumni networks to support continued growth and impact.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY 2

MAXIMIZE OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH KEY STAKEHOLDERS AND CULTIVATE NEW PARTNERS. • Increase the number of students we serve annually at each of our partner schools.

• Implement a professional development system that provides continuing education credit for educators and incentivizes long-term engagement.

• Launch a national professional alumni network to leverage the success of older alumni to support low-income students to succeed and drive program expansion.

“Global Glimpse gave me a

greater sense of perspective.

Someday we will be the decision makers and it is my responsbility to understand how my decisions impact those around me.�

OBILIZ

Global Glimpse has demonstrated the ability to inspire and engage support for our mission. We have achieved a size and scale of operations that demands a strong national board, robust leadership teams, and a staff that brings top talent, multiple skills, and a diverse range of backgrounds to their work.

To raise our profile as a national leader in the field of global education and youth development, we will highlight our unique funding model and our focus on diversity, along with the proven outcomes of our work.

STRATEGIC PRIORITY 3

MOBILIZE KEY STAKEHOLDERS TO BUILD A GREAT ORGANIZATION AND SCALE OUR IMPACT.

24

• Build and support a strong leadership team and an effective, innovative organizational culture.

• Develop long-term partnerships with key stakeholders and major donors.

• Build a brand that is internationally recognized and respected.

ROWTH VISIO 26

Over the next five years, focused investment in the following three areas will prepare Global Glimpse to expand to serve 5,000 students annually.

By 2021, Global Glimpse will be stronger and more capable of leading a movement to prepare all American youth to become successful and responsible global citizens.

We are ready to build on our successful track record, and we will leverage ten years of learning as we enter into this next stage of growth.

REVENUE GENERATION In order to generate $35M in revenue over the next five years, we plan to expand and diversify our revenue streams in the following ways:

1 2 3

INCREASE EARNED REVENUE Since its inception Global Glimpse has focused on building a strong earned revenue model. We allocate needbased scholarships on a sliding-scale and provide valuable services that more affluent students, families, and partners are willing to purchase at market value. In order to build the foundation for sustainable growth in low-income communities, we will increase the percentage of our revenue derived from earned income from from 70% in FY 2017 to 100% in FY 2021.

INCREASE INVESTMENT FROM LEAD NATIONAL INVESTORS Support from lead national investors has allowed Global Glimpse to expand and meet market demand. We intend to leverage our strong track record of growth and impact to increase investment from current philanthropic partners and cultivate new partnerships with airlines, individuals, and foundations that will drive our next stage of growth.

INCREASE SUPPORT FROM REGIONAL FUNDERS Our strong regional presence in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and Chicago has lead to a dramatic increase in local investment, especially from young professionals and corporations. We are working to standardize and scale a regional Advisory Board model focused on network development and fundraising.

CALL TO ACTION “I hope that in the future,

everyone can overcome the differences that separate us.

‘Different’ does not mean ‘separate,’ many people still do not understand that.”

REBECCA DORANTES

2016 ALUMNA (CHICAGO, IL)

Rebecca never imagined that she’d have the opportunity to travel abroad. No one in her family has had any opportunity like Global Glimpse and she is grateful to have a strong support system that pushes her to break barriers and step outside her comfort zone.

Rebecca is not certain what the future holds for her, but she now plans to travel and chase the newfound passions sparked by her Global Glimpse trip to Matagalpa, Nicaragua.

2016 30

Global Glimpse serves low-income and minority high school students who have strong potential to become leaders in their communities, but lack opportunities to fully realize their potential.

Our students develop a belief in their intrinsic ability to make a difference in the world and return home seeing their lives and communities in a new light.

Our program motivates students to excel academically and provides them with practical knowledge and interpersonal skills to be successful in their college, careers and beyond.

We know we can take this vision to the next level. We are building a team of champions and together we will continue to take on the impossible. By supporting Global Glimpse, you have a profound impact on the lives of young people, the trajectory of this country, and our world.
