LEADERSHIP

This word is so important, it’s right in the middle of our name! Here at Global Leadership Adventures, leadership is at the heart of everything we do. We believe leaders are made and not born, and that leadership is a critical life skill that can and should be developed. Whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert, teens on GLA programs will have the chance to define their own leadership style. Click here to learn more about our Leadership Curriculum and philosophy.

PROGRAM POLICIES

From our Cell Phone Policy to our Code of Conduct, and from our Essential Eligibility Criteria to our Refund and Tuition policies, you’ll want to check out every inch of our Program Policies hub to find out more about how GLA operates its programs as well as its enrollment process. Don’t hesitate to give us a call either at 858-771-0645 during office hours if you have any questions about our policies.

SAFETY & RISK MANAGEMENT

The team here at Global Leadership Adventures values the health, safety and security of our students and staff at the highest level. GLA has developed best-in-class program Safety & Risk Management policies and procedures to facilitate program operations in the safest possible light while simultaneously managing and reducing risk wherever and whenever possible.

SEASONAL PROGRAM STAFF JOBS

Are you looking to work in the field on a GLA program this spring break or summer, or possibly even support our program operations behind the scenes? We post our seasonal job listings on our website and accept applications on a rolling basis from qualified candidates. Whether you’re applying to be a Program Director or Mentor, or are interested in filling another seasonal position, be sure to check out our hiring details before you apply. We’d love to have you work with us next season!

21-DAY PROGRAM OPTIONS

A select number of Global Leadership Adventures programs run for three weeks, and all GLA travel internships last for 21 days. Why? Because we find this is the ideal amount of time for deeper learning and engagement. Students often find they forge stronger connections with their host community and bond more with their new friends on these longer-duration sessions. Participants also have the chance to earn extra community service hours on 21-day programs.
