Global Leadership Adventures welcomes high school students, ages 15-18, from around the world to join our experienced staff for a life-changing, international three week journey. Our comprehensive, service-learning approach enables students to enhance their leadership potential through meaningful community service and cultural interactions. The GLA Experience will enrich the life of your child and inspire him/her to become a better leader.

Safety is first

Our primary goal at GLA is to provide students a safe, wonderful and memorable trip. We believe that this transformational growth can only take place in a secure environment. Safety always comes first in everything we do.

• All safety precautions are attended to and reevaluated prior to every trip.
• Staff prioritizes the welfare and best interests of all participants throughout the entire program.
• The student to staff ratio never exceeds 10:1.

Academic journey

International travel is becoming increasingly important for high school students. Globalization has forced us to have a worldwide perspective and appreciation of other cultures. And as the college application process grows more competitive each year, it’s critical that your child experience living in a foreign country.

GLA’s service-learning approach ensures that your child gains the most from a summer abroad. Volunteering in an emerging economy will change their understanding of the world. And meeting dynamic individuals who make a difference will unlock leadership skills. By growing with a remarkable group of international students the benefits are endless.

Personal Growth

The rewards your child receives: confidence, stronger self-esteem, and a global understanding, are immeasurable. Each student grows differently, but they all gain from service-learning. They will return with values of leadership, community service and global awareness.
