Job Description
About Global Citizen
We are an advocacy organisation dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2030. We do this, in part, by encouraging people to learn and take action on our platform. Those actions apply pressure on world leaders to make commitments on issues associated with extreme poverty, such as citizenship and equity, climate change and biodiversity loss, food and hunger and access to education.
By taking action, Global Citizens can be rewarded with tickets to music festivals and events around the world as well as with artist memorabilia. So far, more than 27 million actions have been taken by Global Citizens, leading to USD $48.8 billion in commitments being made by world leaders, which have already affected more than 880 million lives.
