YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES IT POSSIBLE

Dear GSGC Supporter

For almost two decades, Global Sojourns Giving Circle has made a difference in the lives of young people because of a community of supporters, including you, who believe in the potential of youth and the power of locally led mentorship.

None of this has happened in isolation. It is made possible by a circle of mentors, donors, volunteers, leadership, and community partners, connected by a shared belief that every young person deserves to shape their future by choice rather than circumstance.

In this moment 
we simply want 
to pause and say 
"Thank you!"

Your partnership has done far more than fund programs. It has invested in relationships that build confidence, nurture resilience, and expand possibility. Because of your support, mentors continue to walk alongside young people as they discover their strengths, pursue their education, and build lives filled with purpose and opportunity.

Over the years, our work has grown from girls' mentorship clubs into a broader network that includes boys' clubs, alumni leadership, scholarships, and Youth Mentorship Centers. While our strategies have evolved, one thing has remained constant: lasting change begins with trusting local leaders and investing in young people's potential.

The enclosed 2025 Annual Report is an opportunity to celebrate some of the stories made possible through your partnership. Inside, you'll meet a longtime supporter who returned to visit the clubs after nearly a decade away, and a mentor who reflects on how years of working with boys have transformed conversations about respect, responsibility, and partnership within his community.

These stories belong to mentors, young people, communities, and each of us who has chosen to walk alongside them. We hope they remind you that your generosity is part of something much larger than any single gift.

Thank you for believing in young people. Thank you for believing in locally led change. Most of all, thank you for being part of this circle.

Together, we are cultivating agency and expanding possibility.

With sincere appreciation,

The GSGC Team

MENTOR MOMENT

In the latest Mentor Moment, Samson reflects on why he became a mentor, what the young people in his club have taught him, and how one conversation reaffirmed his belief that encouragement can change the direction of a young person's life.
