“The Global Citizen Program always puts my student’s experience first, and the quality and depth of their programs go way beyond just sightseeing. The staff is always available for any questions from me, or my families, even during program, a senior member of their team checks-in daily. It’s such a great feeling when you are traveling with students to have so much support!”

“I think travel is one of the most important elements of a 21st century education. The self-confidence, maturity and cultural intelligence that I see our students develop is astonishing! As a Spanish teacher and a former exchange student myself, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of developing a world vision through global travel.”

Dr. Jolly, Leader, GA
“I’ve been traveling with students for over 20 years. I love sharing my passion for languages, and the arts. I find it inspiring to watch students discover new places, cultures and friendships, but more importantly to witness their personal growth, self-confidence, maturity and seeing them discover who they want to become.”

Mary S., Leader, IA
“I have witnessed first-hand how traveling at a young age can provide not only an unforgettable adventure but a lifetime of memories and experiences. It prepares students for success in a globalized world, builds confidence and independence, and gives them a competitive edge once they leave high school and prepare for their future.”
