Global Village Project

 Every girl deserves the chance to learn, belong, and thrive.

Global Village Project (GVP) is the only middle school in the United States dedicated exclusively to educating refugee girls. Located in Clarkston, Georgia - one of the most diverse communities in the nation - we provide a full-day, tuition-free education for 45–50 refugee girls each year.

Most of our students have been in the United States for less than three years and have missed an average of three years of school - some as many as six. Yet they arrive with extraordinary resilience, determination, and hope.

This year marked a transformative milestone for GVP. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we completed our capital campaign and moved into a beautifully renovated 26,000-square-foot campus. This new home will soon allow us to double our impact, expanding from serving 50 students to as many as 100 refugee girls each year.

Our students come from countries such as Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Myanmar, Sudan, and Zimbabwe. They have experienced displacement, interrupted education, and the challenges of starting over in a new country. At GVP, they gain more than academic skills - they build confidence, find their voices, and discover that their experiences are a source of strength.

As they learn English, excel in the classroom, and develop leadership skills, they also become advocates for their families and communities - helping navigate schools, healthcare, employment, and life in the United States. When a refugee girl succeeds, the impact extends far beyond one student. Families become stronger, communities become more connected, and futures are transformed.
