FRIENDS OF GLOBAL STUDIES

Global Studies programming at Charlotte Latin seeks to develop globally competent students who will be aware, curious, and interested in learning about the world. Charlotte Latin families at all grade levels are invited to participate in opportunities that encourage students to develop these skills. Volunteer Opportunities include but are not limited to: • Participating in our Lower School Global Partners program (See Page 5) • Sharing your global experience, perspectives, and/or other important aspects of your culture with TK–12 students as a guest speaker. • Serving as a host family for an Upper School exchange student from our CLS Sister Schools in Germany,

Italy, France, Argentina, and/or South Africa. Exchanges typically last two to six weeks depending on the program. Your child does not need to be in Upper School to host. • Helping to coordinate and/or participate in activities with our visiting Sister School exchange students and teachers. Some examples may include hosting Welcome or Farewell parties, guiding a walking tour of

Uptown Charlotte, or even tagging along for a day at the USNWC!
