World Savvy operates in the education administration sector with a focus on global education for K-12 students. Based in St. Paul, Minnesota, it was founded in 2002 by Dana Mortenson and Madiha Murshed to address the lack of global education in U.S. classrooms. Its programs aim to build global competence among middle and high school students by equipping them with knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that support leadership and changemaking in diverse communities. Over time, the organization has grown to be recognized as a national leader in global education and focuses on helping learners think critically about global and community issues rather than telling them what to think. In September 2024, Hamse Warfa was named chief executive officer.
