Girls Learn International (GLI) is a nonprofit service-learning organization designed to give American students a voice in the movement for universal girls' education. The GLI Program gives students the opportunity to explore issues affecting girls in relation to global human rights, promotes cross-cultural understanding and communication, and trains students to be leaders and advocates for positive social change. GLI has dual core objectives. In the United States, GLI provides human rights curricula to American students and educates them to become strong leaders and advocates for human rights and global girls' education. Internationally, GLI supports girls' access to quality education in countries where girls are traditionally denied access to education. The GLI Program supports the empowerment of American students as they discover that through their own creative initiatives, dedication and passionate leadership, students can create real solutions that address the obstacles facing girls and women in developing countries and be leaders in the movement to affect positive change worldwide.
