On Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, over 70 volunteers from Global Leadership Initiative (GLI) attended the San Francisco City Impact Outreach. They joined hundreds of others who helped share the holiday cheer and festivities with those in need.
Global Leadership has raised thousands of dollars to support not only children in Uganda but all over the world. The two children pictured below are underprivileged orphans living in San Francisco but given the proper financial support by GLI to receive education and nutrients.

Initiative
Since 2013, Global Leadership Initiative has held youth talent show fundraising for 5 years. As the largest fundraising event, the talent show is a huge success with the teamwork of all GLI members. From recruiting talents and designing flyers and programs to operating stage lights, sound systems, video recording and other logistics, the event was organized entirely by students. Each year, the talent show brings together a variety of people of different backgrounds, talents, and cultures for a night of laughter and entertainment, excitement and awe, and beauty and inspiration. In addition to giving the audience high-quality entertainment, the talent show also raises thousands dollars through ticket sales. All of this money have been donated to various causes, including FCSN, Autism Speaks, Action for Children, San Francisco City Impact, Family Giving Tree, and many more. GLI has allowed for youth to use their diverse talents and skills to give back the community and benefit everyone.
