About Us

Global Visionaries is a Seattle-based nonprofit that facilitates a multi-year youth leadership program in Seattle and in San Miguel Escobar (Guatemala) with an emphasis on social justice and environmentalism in deliberately diverse cohorts of local high school students. 

Through experiential activities, workshops, retreats, community service, and a two-week cultural immersion to Guatemala, GV prepares Seattle-area high school students to define and address environmental and social justice issues in their communities while developing as leaders and becoming more aware of their global citizenship. In 2020, GV added a Virtual Cultural Exchange Program, as well as online Spanish Lessons as options for students to engage with cultural education and leadership opportunities.

First year participants who complete the program are encouraged to join our Advanced Leadership program. These students lead their first year peers through all aspects of the program, utilizing workshop activities, retreats, community service projects and service on our Board of Directors.
