Mission

The mission of GlobalMarketplace.org is to provide thoughtful educational programs that focus on character development, racial healing, and microcredit lending. These programs are designed to improve the lives of children and adults by promoting universal values and community service.

Programs

Character Club

The Character Club is a free after-school program for children aged 9-12, designed to develop healthy character traits such as honesty, compassion, and teamwork through stories, art, music, and games. The program is led by young teachers who act as mentors, creating a supportive environment for character growth.

Racial Healing Project

The Racial Healing Project is a program dedicated to achieving economic justice by addressing racism and promoting racial healing.

Additionally, there are informal share dinner and discussion events aimed at fostering unity and understanding.

Microcredit Loan Fund

Vision

The organization envisions a world where children grow up to reach their full spiritual potential and become caring adults who serve their community. It also aims for adults to develop awareness and respect for all people, working towards eliminating prejudice.

By focusing on these key areas, GlobalMarketplace.org seeks to create a more equitable society where individuals can thrive spiritually and economically.
