Transformative Educational Travel
The Global Citizen Program offers immersive, culturally-enriching student travel experiences, tailored for middle and high school students. Whether you're looking for customized class trips or teen summer travel programs, The Global Citizen Program provides life-changing opportunities for students to expand their horizons, develop leadership skills, and gain a deeper understanding of the world.
A Well-Rounded Approach
Our programs are thoughtfully designed to offer the perfect blend of sightseeing, cultural immersion, and hands-on learning. Students will not only explore iconic landmarks but also engage in interactive activities that spark curiosity and foster leadership.
Exploration and Immersion
The best way to truly understand and appreciate a country is by connecting with its people, tasting its cuisine, and immersing yourself in its rich history.
Our programs bring this to life through authentic experiences like visits to schools, attending concerts or sporting events, and hands-on activities such as art or cooking classes. These meaningful interactions allow students to experience each destination from a local’s perspective, making every moment unforgettable.
Leadership and Team Building
Our leadership and team building activities help students discover new interests and encourages them to further develop their self-confidence and communication skills.
Students will have the opportunity to meet with local dignitaries, participate in leadership workshops, play local sports, navigate ropes courses and go zip-lining, river rafting and horseback riding.
Community Engagement
Travel gives us an opportunity to make a difference, to give back to the people and places that we visit along the way and to make the world a better place.
Students will make a positive impact by participating in activities such as working on a reforestation project, providing assistance to local farmers, participating in beach conservation or meeting with young children to help teach english and art classes.
