Our History

In 2012, a small group of community-oriented visionaries recognized the need to elevate San Diego to a city with a consciously international focus. They determined to work together to extend San Diego's global outreach by organizing media and marketing efforts, and by collaborating with and participating in global events that support one anothers' institutional needs.

To that end, six of the leading international non-profit organizations in San Diego joined together to launch the Global San Diego initiative to begin building a community that includes everyone who lives in and visits San Diego. By bringing diverse peoples and groups together all lives will be enriched and our community will become enriched by enhancing our capacity to care for ourselves and each other. Global San Diego celebrates the diversity of our community and welcomes people from other countries and cultures into our lives.

By fostering global awareness among San Diegans we will become active global citizens who work together towards peace, harmony, and goodwill among all people.
