The Chestnut Family Foundation has made a three-year commitment of $970,750 to Global Village Project (GVP) in support of their Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) and Wellness program. The gift will allow GVP to sustain the current scope of their program, as well as fund the expansion of SEL programs beginning in spring 2026 when they relocate to their new campus. The gift will provide resources for additional staff to deliver student counseling and SEL instruction, as well as the recruitment of supplementary social work expertise to the school.
The Global Village Project is a nationally recognized, three-year accelerated, special-purpose middle school for refugee girls in Decatur, GA. The school currently serves around 45 students annually at no cost to the students. GVP is the only school in the U.S. dedicated to meeting the unique educational needs of recently resettled refugee young women and preparing them for high school and beyond.
We're proud to continue our partnership with Global Village Project and the incredible work they are doing to serve the young refugee women community!
