The Global Give Back Circle integrates mentoring, private sector investment and community support in a circle of empowerment that guides young disadvantaged teens to complete their educational journey, gain employable skills, and take on leadership roles as agents of change.  Participants receive scholarships, life-skills training and a dedicated mentor.  In return, the participants offer voluntary service to their communities while working with the next generation of scholarship awardees. Launched in 2008 as a Clinton Global Initiative commitment, the Global Give Back Circle provides girls and boys from disadvantaged backgrounds—many of them orphans—with the skills, savvy and support they need to escape the cycle of poverty. The program has more than 36 Kenyan and international public and private sector partners.
