Global Citizen Journey is Seeking Interns and Volunteers!
Discover opportunities with Global Citizen Journey (GCJ) as a delegate, intern or volunteer and develop your capacity as a citizen diplomat. We are developing our website and communication materials, editing videos, conducting research and much more to support our upcoming and current delegations. Your skills, talents and energies are welcomed! Fill out our Prospective Volunteer Form after reading through GCJ’s Wish List.
Our next orientation will be scheduled and updated either here or on the home page. Please also follow our Facebook page for orientation updates, event announcements, photos, GCJ journey information, volunteer openings and much more! Monthly meetings will typically be held from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the second Monday evening at Global Citizen Journey (click to view location coordinates) located in the neighborhood of Fremont in Seattle.
If you would like an orientation to Global Citizen Journey (GCJ), please contact us at susanpartnow@gmail.com and we will provide video, slides and conversation to help you learn about the mission and vision of GCJ, a unique Seattle-based nonprofit.
We will talk about our journeys and share stories from our first journey to the Niger Delta in 2005 when we brought 19 Puget Sound residents with 21 Nigerians from all around Nigeria, to live in a small village where we completed the first library in the oil-rich, environmentally devastated region. You will also hear stories from our second journey to the coastal town of Axim, Ghana, where 15 U.S. delegates joined 14 Ghanaians in circle work, town hall meetings, educational/health outreach and building of an orphanage and community center. You will learn about our journeys to India, when were we were hosted by Maher in Maharashtra and ELFA in Kashmir. You will also get to know about the Burundi women’s second harvest on their land purchased by GCJ and our work with Population Caring Organization (PCO) and other nonprofits in Liberia to launch the Liberia Peacebuilder Initiative to build a community-based network to foster conflict resolution, reconciliation and sustainable peace at the grassroots, to help stabilize Liberia and grow the peace it has begun to experience.
