We are an advocacy organization dedicated to ending extreme poverty by 2030. We do this by encouraging people to learn and take action on our platform; those actions apply pressure on world leaders to make commitments around the issues associated with extreme poverty: gender equality, food security, education, the environment, global health, citizenship, and sanitation. We don't ask people for money, but to take action for the world’s poor. These actions can be as simple as a tweet, signing a petition, making a phone call, or sending an email. By taking action, these Global Citizens are rewarded with access and tickets to our music festivals and other events around the world. So far, more than 13 million actions have been taken by Global Citizens, leading to $35 billion commitments being made by world leaders, which are set to affect 1.3 billion lives by 2030.

Points of Light is the world’s largest organization dedicated to volunteer service, mobilizing millions of people to take action that is changing the world. Through a Global Network of 113 affiliates, in 34 states and 32 countries, and partnerships with thousands of nonprofits and corporations, Points of Light engages more than 3.8 million volunteers in 13.7 million hours of service each year. We inspire, equip and mobilize people to create positive change through volunteering and civic engagement. For details, go to www.pointsoflight.org.
