IMPACT REPORT
I Am Global Academy uses the power of learning and relationships to fuel the futures of individuals who are impacted by social oppression—primarily those coming from human trafficking contexts. With a personalized virtual tutoring service, we come alongside local partners doing the work on the ground to provide the gift of reading, writing, and speaking English. We form ongoing relationships that help build learners' confidence and improve their English so they can:
continue their education
move into viable careers
contribute to their communities
in meaningful ways
our history
We were incubated in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 2014, as a response to a request from local partners in Kolkata - Mahima. Founded by a group collaborative with Don Gerred, an attorney with the Kolkata Field Office of International Justice Mission (IJM), we saw the opportunity to help learners improve their English to build confidence and prepare for a successful future. In response to COVID-19, we re-imagined and designed innovative ways to closely serve our learners and partners. Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic era, we annually visit our partners and learners to create immersive learning and relationship-building experiences.
our mission
With the power of learning and relationships, we fuel the futures of humans who have escaped trafficking or are escaping generational trafficking contexts.
our vision
All learners are using their voices to make their own choices.

In reflecting on the limitless potential of our learners, one of our tutors shared:
“You don’t even know what kind of problems
they are capable of solving until you see them doing it!”
our learners
No one does what we do for our learners in providing one-on-one personalized English language learning. We give life to our learners and tutors through our deep relationship-building and international individualized learning approach, where tutors and learners are encouraged to co-direct the lesson.

“I enjoy the class with my tutor. I came to know about a lot of games from the classes which have been refreshing for me and also, I have improved my English. I want to speak good English and these classes have helped me a lot. I also came to know a few things about the outside world.“
“I like attending I Am Global Academy (IAGA) class. My tutor, Ericka, teaches me really well. I feel IAGA classes are really refreshing for my mind. I feel my English has improved since attending IAGA class. I am very thankful for my tutor. She is not just my tutor; she is my friend.”
