While Braden Wilson is new to the Home Office role, he has been an experienced and valued team member over the last six years in the role of Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua Country Director. In January, we welcomed Braden to the new role of Director of Programs. Braden has the exciting job of researching and creating new programs, as well as continuing to evaluate and improve our existing programs. He’s been busy so far implementing a Pre-Business College enrichment program in Costa Rica and a Pre-Med College Enrichment program in Nicaragua. Having just returned from a scouting trip in Central America with Director Crisley Cespedes, Braden confirmed that our Surf and Science programs will also be ready to go in June!

In the summer, Braden will continue to work with Crisley as the Central America Country Director. Here, he meets all of the Global Works participants upon arrival and assists our staff on site and in the Home Office. (more…)
