OUR MISSION

BECOMING A CITIZEN DIPLOMAT

We believe every person has the right and responsibility to engage across cultures and create shared understanding through meaningful interactions. This concept is known as citizen diplomacy.

Our mission is to develop and facilitate opportunities for everyone in Kansas and Western Missouri to claim their role as a citizen diplomat.

SUPPORT OUR MISSION

SUPPORT YOUTH DIPLOMATS

The Youth Diplomat Institute is a FREE real-world experiential learning program for high school students in the Heartland. This project was created as a labor of love to promote the values and skills of cultural competencies within the future workforce. It needs your support to grow. Your support will fund events, training, and travel opportunities for local youth. Will you support the next generation?

FUND INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE

Global Ties KC exchanges, while partially government grant funded, cannot happen without local support to cover costs of staffing, overhead, and community events. Will you make a donation to keep events low cost and accessible, and to help create new opportunities for mutual exchange?

KC COMMUNITY OUTBOUND FUND

The KC Community Outbound Fund is a new initiative to support local artists, educators, and community organizers to engage in international exchange. Our first delegation includes John Raux, Calvin Arsenia, and Melissa Ferrer, who are travelling to the Dak’Art festival in Senegal in 2024. We are excited to send many more groups abroad in the years to come. Will you help send KC to the world in the years to come?
