Uniting Our World Through Global Learning

A new partnership between Appalachian GEAR UP and Participate Learning seeks to join forces with 10 western North Carolina school districts to help promote college and career readiness through leadership development that will help students thrive in an interconnected global economy. Through this new partnership, GEAR UP will enable schools to implement Participate Learning's Global Leaders, a framework that integrates into existing school priorities and provides training and resources to enhance each school's ability to prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.
