Welcome!
Every year, the world is becoming more interconnected. At InterConnections 21, we think of ourselves as a bridge between the "local" and the "global," between different generations, and between hometown schools and the halls of the United Nations. That's why we call ourselves InterConnections 21, or IC 21 for short.
We create programs to help high school students and their teachers learn about urgent issues facing the world and how to take action.
What people say about IC 21
"I realize that I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity not only to interact with the Otavalans of Ecuador but also to take one step further (at the UN Student Conference on Human Rights) and discuss certain solutions that would ultimately resolve the threats towards the rights of indigenous peoples. These experiences combined were very inspirational..."
-Cummings Rork, student from Jackson, WY who particpated in the IC 21 sponsored Ecuador Study and Service Trip and the '07 UNSCHR on "The Rights of Indigenous People"
"IC 21 truly changed my life. You always believed in me; thus, you opened the door to the world of International Affairs. I know that many others have been touched and continue to be impacted by the efforts of IC 21."
-Casey Box, former Global Connections Club member, Jackson, WY
