About Us

Full-Circle Learning exists to help young people embrace their role as society’s humanitarians and change agents, through five lines of activity: 

  1. Capacity building and professional development for teachers; 
  2. Community impact grants for school projects that integrate habits-of-heart with academics and community needs (based on SDGs);
  3. Scholarships, especially among vulnerable populations;
  4. Wisdom exchanges among schools across borders, who share local perspectives and habits-of-heart to address global challenges .
  5. Humanitarian assistance for learning communities in times of crisis.

If the world feels more peaceful, if everyone can eat, if communities survive climate change in the coming decades, it will be due to the vision, compassion, and global cohesion of today’s generation.

We Create Change through Global Education

Full-Circle Learning (FCL), an award-winning global 501 (c) 3 charitable organization, based in the US, helps young people aspire to improve the world in which we all live.

By integrating life skills, academics, local service, and global wisdom exchanges, they attach greater purpose to learning, to altruism, and to positive change. Their schools contextualize habit-of-heart themes through academic units that tackle poverty, health disparities, elder care, food security, peace, climate change adaptations — or whatever will enhance their local communities, create systemic transformation, strengthen students’ skills and convictions, and uplift the human family.

Meanwhile, Full-Circle Learning’s board offers in-kind service to nurture teacher and learner capacities, while responding to requests for project grants, materials, and school scholarships in the most vulnerable of communities.

A school principal in Africa recently said: “The integration of FCL into our national curriculum is so essential because it provides huge benefits to the next generation.”

The adjacent list of schools and communities received humanitarian and financial support in 2020 through April 2021. More countries and schools have since joined in, believing that when we light the eyes of one child, we can better illumine the future of humanity and all living beings.
