Brett and Stella working on a Niger Climate Change activity at the Action Center
Being part of the GCC Core this year, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting other students from different schools who shared the same interest in helping the world as I do. As co-leader of the Global Concerns club at Trevor Day School, my role consists of leading the club in discussions on pressing issues, running fundraising efforts, and reaching out to students through e-mails and assemblies in an effort to raise global awareness.

As a freshman in St. Vincent Ferrer High School, I knew that I wanted to be a part of the Global Concerns Club, one of the most active clubs in school. At the time, I had no idea that as a Senior I would have the amazing and unique opportunity to work in collaboration with club leaders from high schools around the city in the GCC Leadership Core.

GCC Leadership Core exploring climate change at the Action Center
I am glad that I was able to be a part of Global Concerns Club at St Vincent Ferrer High School (SVF). It has given me many opportunities for growth in my senior year at SVF. In addition to the many activities we were able to do in school, there were several opportunities where we were able to learn outside of the classroom with students from other schools.
