OUR MISSION
Harnessing a growing network of over 200+ youth volunteers from 35+ countries and counting, Global Ascent is building a movement to make global issues—like climate change, inequality, and education—accessible to all. Our starting point is language. By translating vital information and centering multilingual youth voices, we’re dismantling the barriers that keep people excluded from global conversations.
Through grassroots organizing, youth-led advocacy, and powerful translation networks, we’re equipping the next generation to lead—not just in one language, but in every language. Imagine a world where anyone, anywhere, can rise to meet global challenges. That’s the world we’re creating.

Measuring Poverty
Measuring Poverty" explains how the World Bank tracks global poverty using updated international poverty lines and purchasing power data, revealing that nearly half the world lives on less than $8.30 a day.
What is the situation?
Over 80% of the world’s population does not speak English, yet the majority of information about global issues, such as climate change, poverty, health, and human rights, is published exclusively in English. This language barrier means that over 6 billion people are excluded from vital conversations, decision-making, and solutions that directly affect their lives and communities.
