It will fund program innovation and expansion that responds to young people\u2019s eagerness to define their own identities, to be accepted and respected by their peers, and to engage with the social issues that most directly affect them and their communities.<\/p>\n<p>Global Nomads programs draw on the science of learning and brain development to use storytelling to build empathy, awareness, and agency. This closely aligns with the Bezos Family Foundation\u2019s goal of translating the latest research into practice to bring about meaningful experiences and measurable outcomes for children and adolescents growing up in a rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n<p>This grant will support program partnerships aimed at reaching marginalized youth who are too often overlooked or excluded from cross-national and cross-cultural opportunities \u2013 such as those in rural communities, immigrants and refugees, students with disabilities, and those attending under-resourced schools.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the years, The Bezos Family Foundation\u2019s support of Global Nomads has been extraordinary in its generosity and its synergy. This powerful partnership hasn\u2019t just sustained Global Nomads\u2019 work over time but it has challenged the organization to continuously innovate, to grow responsibly, and to contribute to the knowledge base and capacity strengthening of the field of youth development overall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; When introduced to Jackie and Mike Bezos some 20 years ago, Global Nomads Group made a compelling and lasting impression.
