Education
We bring the world to classrooms all over North Texas, and we help send students out to the world to learn, challenge the status quo, and change it for the better. We call it the Global Young Leaders program, and each year it reaches about 8,000 students, 1,000 teachers, and more than 65 schools across North Texas.
