At GCA, Our Core Belief Has Always Been That Society's True Foundation Is Built on Its Youngest Members.
Our involvement in childhood workforce preparation began as early as 2009. However, it was in 2020 when we officially established GCA, setting out on a dedicated mission to revolutionize childhood care, education, and protection across the globe.
Starting as a modest team with expansive visions, we've since evolved into a vast network of global partners and institutions. Each of us is singularly committed to one overarching goal: empowering the dedicated workforce responsible for molding our children's futures.
Our Mission
To accelerate the development of a global workforce dedicated to childhood care, education, and protection. By fostering collaborations, sharing resources, and utilizing cutting-edge technologies, we aim to make quality education and care accessible for every child, everywhere.
Our Vision
A world where every child, irrespective of their background, has access to quality care and education, supported by a well-prepared, compassionate, and innovative workforce.
IMPACT FRAMEWORK
The GCA Collective Impact Framework
At the heart of every educational journey is the child. However, the influences shaping that journey come from a vast ecosystem of dedicated professionals and stakeholders. The GCA Collective Impact Framework is a visual representation of this intricate ecosystem. With the child at its core, our model encapsulates all the pivotal roles played by teachers, leaders, social workers, policymakers, and other essential figures in a child’s educational path.
Nurturing Holistic Development
Each stakeholder plays a crucial role in a child’s journey. GCA ensures they’re equipped with the necessary resources, training, and network to thrive.
Unity in Purpose
Our framework underscores the interconnectedness of roles, emphasizing collaboration for the collective advancement of a child’s education.
Empowering Every Stakeholder
GCA is not just a platform; it’s a commitment to a educational approach, ensuring each professional in a child’s life contributes to their optimal success.
The holistic nature and shared importance of childhood calls for a comprehensive approach that involves all actors across multiple sectors.
