Listen now
Description
Galicia Gordon is the Founder and Executive-Director of Leading Learners, a platform supporting students through free and accessible resources. With over 100, 000 students impacted globally, Leading Learners has become the one-stop platform for free student resources. Leading Learners has reached students from all corners of the world, including students from Harvard, Columbia, McGill, Oxford, among several top tier institutes. Over the course of one year, Galicia has notably promoted over $3 Million dollars in scholarships and thousands of supportive tools to her thousands of underprivileged student visitors every month. Galicia leads Leading Learners to achieve educational equity and actively cultivates a community of underprivileged minorities, diverse socioeconomic statuses, and students from isolated communities. She has had several media features, such as a UBC podcast, congratulating her efforts within her venture. Galicia has landed her mark with a life-changing, unique organization for students, being the only platform to offer completely free, updated, and accessible resources to people of all ages and backgrounds. In one of her supporters' words from the University of Bristol, Leading Learners is "the most extensive and resourceful student platform." With backing from education governmental leaders, Leading Learners has been named 'the insightful, comprehensive resource for students.' Galicia's Non-Profit Organization has been a direct assistant to the UN's SDGs 4 (Quality Education) and 11 (Sustainable Communities), solving student's unaccessible discrepancy between free and credible resources. The organization is targeting the many unheard stories of students with academic struggles and financial barriers. Galicia will be entering an Honours Political Science program this fall en route to work extensively on equitable education across the world. ‘
