World Savvy

We prepare young people to take action in their learning by transforming teaching and learning so that students are ready to thrive in work, community, and life. 

Over the past 23 years, World Savvy has reached more than 932,000 students and 7,900 students in 1,200 schools, yet it's never been more important for students to develop the skills to lead with empathy and purpose. This year, World Savvy will impact over 16,000 students across Minnesota. Will you help us reach our $15,000 goal this November as we expand identity-connected education grounded in real-world relevance to more students across the state?

OUR IMPACT:

BUILDING FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS: The ability to coordinate, delegate, and problem-solve in groups is a hallmark of 21st-century leadership. World Savvy students are 77% more likely to demonstrate these skills than peers in other high-performing global systems.

DEVELOPING REAL-WORLD COMPETENCIES: In a global economy where collaboration is essential, World Savvy students report 22% more frequent collaboration and group work than the national average—matching or exceeding top-performing international education systems.

FOSTERING BELONGING AND ENGAGEMENT: Nearly 1 in 5 students reflect on culture, identity, and inclusion. World Savvy students are also 30% more likely than national benchmarks to report meaningful engagement in learning that affirms their identity and inspires action.

CULTIVATING EMPATHETIC LEADERS: Students in World Savvy programs talk about empathy and emotional support 85% more often than students in national social-emotional learning (SEL) programs.
