On Saturday, October 17, hundreds of students, families, and community members will gather at Flushing Meadows Corona Park for Global Kids’ Annual 5K Run/Walk/Push & Family Day, raising funds for programs that help young people build leadership skills, excel academically, and broaden their global perspectives.

From engaging with civic leaders and exploring college opportunities to participating in international service trips, Global Kids students gain meaningful experiences that build confidence, expand their horizons, and prepare them to pursue their goals and become leaders in an interconnected world.
