Professional Learning Facilitator

About the Organization

World Savvy is reimagining K12 education to prepare students to contribute to a more peaceful, sustainable, and just world. We believe problem-solving, comfort with ambiguity, collaboration, empathy, and critical thinking are essential tools in today’s global knowledge economy—and that educational equity means ensuring all students have access to these tools.

Founded in 2002, World Savvy is a leading national education nonprofit that partners holistically with schools to transform learning environments into inclusive, adaptive, and future-ready schools. Our multi-year Comprehensive School Partnerships are designed collaboratively with school leaders to align with each building’s strategic vision and goals. We have offices in St. Paul (largest) and San Francisco.

Mission: World Savvy educates and engages youth to learn, work, and thrive as responsible global citizens.

Vision: As the leading provider of global competence education, World Savvy envisions a K-12 education system that prepares all students with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions for success and active engagement in the global community. Our work centers on developing global competence in students—teaching them to engage with empathy, honor cultural differences, seek out multiple perspectives, and collaborate to solve complex problems.
