TakingITGlobal
We provide opportunities for learning, capacity-building, cross-cultural awareness and self-development through the use of Information and Communication Technologies.
We're an international non-profit organization headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, yet we connect youth around the world. TakingITGlobal provides a portal for young people to find inspiration, access information and get involved in improving their local and global communities.
Inspire
Young people have the energy, the desire and the skills to make a difference in the world. All that's needed is a way of connecting with one another. TakingITGlobal's position at the intersection of key global trends enables us to support young people in acting as a force for change today and into the future. Our Vision is of a world where young people are more engaged in their communities on local, national, and international levels. We provide the tools and the space for young people around the world to be heard. And those voices will, in turn, inspire more to speak.
Inform
Our world is increasingly global and interconnected. Many threats face our common humanity, such as global poverty, war and conflict, HIV/AIDS, and environmental degradation. TakingITGlobal provides access to the information required to understand and act on global issues. Our mission is to provide opportunities for learning, capacity-building, cross-cultural awareness and self-development through the use of Information and Communication Technologies. Because once you have the information, you can share it.
Involve
Young people are most powerful as co-owners in our own development process. That's why TakingITGlobal is focused on encouraging involvement. By leveraging the power of social networks and digital media, we've created a tool for learning, collaboration, dialogue and action that is completely interactive.
Throughout all of our online and offline programming, TakingITGlobal aims to:
- Strengthen the capacity of young people as leaders and citizens
- Foster cross-cultural dialogue and understanding
- Increase awareness and involvement in global issues
Help TakingITGlobal reach youth leaders around the world. Through TIG's platform, young people can be inspired, be informed and get involved - and make a positive impact!

Congratulations to Barack Obama, who last night secured his spot in history as the 44th President of the United States. He has shown that his message of hope is a catalyst for change and action. Millions of Americans have answered that call, rallying on the campaign trail, volunteering for hours on end, and collectively they have made a difference.
