Each chapter of the Global Journal Project is a three-school collaboration and a student-run business under the umbrella of Omprakash, a U.S.-registered nonprofit. The model is simple: three schools form a partnership in which one is a grassroots education project in the Omprakash network.
The Project allows for a cross-cultural exchange among the three schools and offers a vehicle for each of those schools to share with its local communities the voices and perspectives from other parts of the world.
The inaugural Chapter of the Global Journal Project, the print and online magazine Global Vantage, involves Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (Kibera, Kenya), The Taft School (Watertown, CT), and Pacific Ridge School (Carlsbad, CA).
