The
Global Youth Village is the oldest running project of Legacy International.
Legacy
International is a non-profit educational and training organization.
Since our inception in 1979, our primary concern has been to help individuals
and groups to develop and refine skills and to deal effectively with
the needs of their societies. Legacy assists in building cooperative
and productive lives through cross-cultural training, conflict prevention
and resolution, curriculum development, educator/ pedagogical programs
and student-to-student programming. Our quarter century of local, regional
and global work has proven that people can live in harmony with their
neighbors while developing skills and means to make significant contributions
to their communities and to the world.
Legacy's
work touches many lives. We teach emerging leaders worldwide the skills
of preventing and resolving conflicts, building cooperation, and understanding
cultural differences. Back at home, they become energetic yet practical
change-agents with new visions. We have completed projects with partners
on five continents, worked with individuals from more than 100 countries,
and equipped organizations to work more effectively in a wide range
of initiatives. We have organized more than a dozen international training
and conference events. Our funders have included government agencies,
foundations, corporations, private donors, and tuition-paying participants.
We often work with partner organizations that share similar visions
to build working coalitions, accomplish set goals, and share our expertise
with others.
