Global Leadership Adventures welcomes students from all over the world. We offer programs and internships for middle school, high school and college-age students, with custom group travel options also available.

Our experiences combine hands-on learning, adventure and leadership development, with opportunities to explore new cultures, career interests and community service.

Explore GLA programs and internships in destinations across Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the United States.

Summer and spring break program sessions are open for enrollment.

Participate in a range of experiences: Take part in hands-on learning, leadership development, adventure excursions and opportunities for cultural exchange or community service, depending on your program.
Earn community service hours: On programs with a service-learning component, students may earn community service hours, with opportunities ranging from 20–80 hours depending on the program.
