The International Global Citizen’s Award Program, is a programme that encourages young people to become better global citizens by:
- finding out about other cultures and outlooks
- finding out more about how their everyday lives affect the environment and the lives of others
- working with others in various capacities
- taking small actions to help make the world a better place, and
- reflecting on their developing knowledge and awareness

As shown above, the IGCA programme elements are:
- Understanding Other Cultures & Outlooks
- Personal Global Footprint (Environmental Responsibility, Being Good with Money)
- Working with Others (Community Service, Advocacy, Decision-Making)
- Recording & Reflecting on Change & Development
As an Ambassador for this program, I have had the opportunity to inculcate the International Global Citizen’s Award (IGCA) Program as a Practical Arm of the PULSE Program.
