  The Global Center for Social Change operates based on a business model that focuses on bringing training and consulting, business and policy development, and cultural exchange and education to underserved global communities.  
     
  TRAINING & CONSULTING  
     
  Train-the-Trainers
An effective trainer is one that continually learns the latest training methods, techniques, and tools to further their success in their industry. With that in mind, the Global Center conducts state-of-the-art workshops and seminars for persons currently in leadership, education and training positions. Examples of training modules include:
 
Training sport coaches, managers and medical personnel within their own community or country to better provide comprehensive sport, recreation and physical activity programs for persons with disabilities
Training child advocacy professionals to utilize cutting edge computerized systems to improve the tracking of services provided to abused children and to identify child predators
 
 
Training for Women’s Leadership in Sport and Sports for Persons with Disability
Comprehensive, state-of-the-art training for emerging leaders in sport is available through the Global Center, which also has significant expertise in the areas of sport for persons with disability and women’s leadership in sport. Faculty and other experts with extensive backgrounds in sport science, sports medicine, sport management, coaching and classification are available for international training and projects.
 
     
  Expert Advising
The Global Center provides expert consulting to persons and organizations in topics concerning disability rights, women’s leadership, children’s advocacy, social work, healthcare, and sport for health, development and peace.
 
     
  BUSINESS & POLICY DEVELOPMENT  
     
  Healthcare, Business and Policy-Making
Sound and effective policies which address issues in disability rights, children’s advocacy, women’s rights/leadership, business development and healthcare are crucial for progress.  The Global Center and its partners provide support to assist in developing these policies.
 
     
  Project Proposal and Fund Development
Often the partners in a nongovernmental organization (NGO) or disabled persons’ organization (DPO) in Africa do not have the capability or structure necessary to develop requests for funding to support critical initiatives. The Global Center, for projects of mutual interest, provides expertise and support to NGO or DPO global partners, developing joint proposals for fund development.
 
     
  Social, Cultural and Business Development Programs
Local communities benefit with cultivated partnerships between KSU faculty subject matter experts and local community leaders.  These teams work to develop programs that result in increased social, cultural and business activity.
