LODGING POLICY
LODGING POLICY
Global Leadership Adventures has adopted a Lodging Policy to ensure the safety, comfort, and dignity of all students on our programs. Dorming takes place at a GLA Home Base and depending on the program itinerary, there may be one or multiple Home Bases.
Rooming assignments are made based on gender identity, as communicated to GLA during enrollment. For students who are transitioning, non-binary, or gender non-conforming, we will work directly with them to determine the rooming arrangement that feels most comfortable.
All students and families are welcome to communicate with GLA to provide more information on what type of lodging experience will be the most comfortable for their student.
Our staff reserves the right to adjust rooming assignments at any time if necessary for safety, logistics, or program needs. While we cannot guarantee that all preferences can be met due to the realities of international and group travel, we are committed to making thoughtful and respectful accommodations whenever possible.
As part of our broader values, GLA is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where all students are respected, regardless of gender identity or expression, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, country of origin, or any other identity. Respecting differences and celebrating diversity are central to building the safe, supportive communities that define every GLA program.
Students are not permitted to enter rooms not assigned to them unless granted permission by program staff.
If you have a request related to room assignments or other lodging considerations, please contact us at 858-771-1645 or travel@experienceGLA.com.
IN FOR THE NIGHT POLICY
It is GLA policy that students remain in their rooms for the duration of the night once program leaders have instructed them to do so.
By violating this policy (i.e. sneaking out of your room at night), you put yourselves and others at risk. This is grounds for dismissal from the program.
Each night, participants are informed of the time to return to assigned rooms and the time of “lights out,” as well as the schedule for the following day. For health reasons, we allow for and encourage eight hours of sleep a night for students, whenever possible.
