Change Makers
Advocating for broader opportunities
OneWorld Now!‘s vision is to increase access to international opportunities, namely critical language studies, leadership development and study abroad, to all American youth. Our award-winning program in Seattle, WA demonstrates the successful implementation of our innovative program model of language, leadership and study abroad for underserved youth, who have historically had the least access to these life-changing opportunities. OWN is committed to working with students, teachers, parents, school districts, college & universities and communities nationwide to support:
- Increased access to critical language learning during and after school
- Increased access to study abroad opportunities, especially to underserved youth
- Promoting the “Gap Year” for all American youth to consider spending a year abroad volunteering and studying languages between high school and college
OWN is helping to lead the Gap Year movement in America, where all American youth are encouraged to consider a year of service abroad. The Gap Year is a popular concept in many other nations throughout Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand, and is on the rise in America. OWN is especially interested to supporting underserved youth in taking a Gap Year.
