Music Player Skins Music Player SkinsEND code to Hide Music PlayerClint Borgen is the Founder and President of The Borgen Project, an
organization that is working to bring U.S. political attention to global poverty.
Borgen works nationally with congressional leaders to build support for legislation
that improves conditions for the poorest people on the planet. He is widely
regarded as one of the most politically influential humanitarians in the U.S. today. In 1999, Borgen was a 21-year-old volunteer working in the
Kosovo refugee camps, during the war and genocide. On the ground, Borgen saw
a need for a powerful organization that could put pressure on Congress and the
White House to step up efforts to address global poverty. The former
Firefighter/EMT went on to intern at the United Nations in Geneva and after
college he began developing The Borgen Project.
Needing funding to start the organization, Borgen took a job living on a fishing
vessel docked in Dutch Harbor, Alaska (same location as the Deadliest Catch).
All of The Borgen Project’s early funding came from Borgen’s time working in
Alaska, where the organization was developed and launched in 2003 from inside
the fishing vessel that he was living on.
Today, The Borgen Project is headquartered in Seattle and one man’s project has
grown into a web-based movement that has utilized volunteers in 48 countries.
