It Only Takes One
Each and every girl we educate has the potential to not only change her life and that of her family’s, but also her community and even the world. Your gift helps us prepare our students to be undaunted, and allows us to pioneer an innovative model of refugee education to share with educators globally. DONATE NOW >
Merging Many Worlds
Our 50 students come from 1 of 19 countries of origin in Africa, Asia, and South America, and they collectively speak 26 different languages—from French to Kinyarwanda and Arabic to Karen. APPLY FOR ADMISSION >
Arts are integral to teaching and learning at GVP providing students with ongoing experiences that give them tools to express themselves and learn that creative pursuits are a part of innovative thinking. Music, performing, and visual arts act as a means for students to display their strengths, knowledge and identities. Now, with a recent grant from a generous partner, GVP will substantially enhance its STEAM offering over the next two years.
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is an interdisciplinary and integrated approach to 21st century teaching and learning that emphasizes creativity, communication, and collaboration.

Ms. Adria is the CEO and Founder of Ecoslay, which makes 100% homemade hair products that are good for people and good for the environment. Last week she spoke with GVP students about what's like running her own business. We are so grateful to Ms. Adria and our other amazing women leaders for coming to share about their careers!

This fall, we’re excited to invite volunteers to deepen their engagement with GVP even further through leadership roles in our new Volunteer Support Network! You can lead or co-lead a team to assist with academic support, special events, or more! To help us get started, we’re asking all onboarded volunteers to complete a 10-minute skills survey at bit.ly/gvpvolunteersurvey2021. Or, if you’re new to volunteering at GVP, fill out an application at www.globalvillageproject.org!

Lily Tova is back!! GVP's favorite canine, Lily Tova the therapy dog, and her human Cindy Zeldin paid GVP a virtual visit this month to read with students. Lily and Cindy are long-time friends of GVP, having volunteered for years to help students practice reading aloud in English.
