Around the world, millions of children still lack access to quality education, particularly in under-resourced and developing communities that still lack the tools, teachers, and opportunities needed for students to excel.
At Givology, a 100% volunteer-run youth-led nonprofit, we support grassroots education projects and students towards making quality education accessible for all children by connecting donors with high-impact education projects that allow students to thrive. To further our understanding of the global education crisis and create meaningful conversations about how we can close the gap, we’ve compiled the following podcast list that explores education access and equity from a diverse range of perspectives.
