The Pope Globalization Academy Foundation (PGAF) is comprised of parent volunteers of current Globalization Academy students. We welcome and encourage all families of Academy students to become active members of the Foundation. Continued support is essential to the success and collaborative spirit of the Academy. Parents can either volunteer as an elected Board member, or volunteer to help with events throughout the year.
