The New Global Citizen

Today’s world demands individuals and organizations prepared to thrive in a globally interconnected network of challenges and opportunities. Greater social awareness and innovative approaches have allowed a growing number of individuals and organizations to cross borders and cultural boundaries to create shared value and understanding.

The New Global Citizen chronicles the stories, strategies, and impact of innovative leadership and international engagement around the world. This digital publication seeks to capture the ground-level impact of these approaches, providing an avenue through which beneficiaries and implementers alike can showcase their impact.

Today’s transformed and increasingly interconnected world has spurred a revolution in our global culture, reinforcing collaborative approaches to addressing complex challenges. In so doing, the New Global Citizen elevates the ways in which individuals, corporations, and others are championing a better future for our world.

This is the world of the new global citizen. This is your world.

Red Dirt Road Empowers Women From Michigan to Phnom Penh
In rural Cambodia, on the edge of the Mekong River, a red dirt road barely accommodates the lone minivan as it winds its way over bumps and hairpin turns.

Once off the highway, there is not another vehicle to be seen.

Empowering a New Generation of Women Leaders in Cambodia
In 2004, I met a courageous young woman who changed my life. Her name was Veasna Chea. She was about thirty years old at the time and working with the UN Commission on Human Rights in Cambodia. Like many Cambodians of her generation, some of Veasna’s family members had been killed in the Khmer Rouge genocide of the 1970s, and she had grown up poor. But her mother was determined that her daughter receive an education.
