LOOKING AHEAD
A Message From Our Founder
Dear GCI Fellows, Alumni, TAs, and Community Members,
As I reflect on 15 years of GCI, my heart is full - and it starts with you. From day one, Fellows have been the center and soul of this community and endeavor. What began as a small idea grew into something powerful because of your curiosity, courage, and commitment to lead with your heart.
GCI was built on a simple belief: when young people are empowered, they change the world. Watching you grow into thoughtful, ethical, globally minded leaders has been the greatest joy of this journey. You are GCI’s living legacy.
I’m excited to share that GCI’s next chapter will be carried forward by our mission-aligned partner, Bald Mountain Meadow (BMM), led by a long-time Phillips Exeter Academy educator, Jason BreMiller. While I move into my next chapter, I will remain closely connected as an advisor and supporter, cheering on the next generation of GCI Fellows and Ambassadors!
Please keep carrying GCI’s values forward and amplifying the mission. The world needs your leadership - now more than ever.
With immense pride, excitement, and gratitude,
Yumi Kuwana
Chair, President, & Founder
