__If One Trip Could Change Your Life… Would You Take It?__
At Global Explorers, we are dedicated to creating moments that challenge students’ perspectives of the world and inspire them to be a part of making it a better place…to become responsible global citizens.

We invite students and educators worldwide to join us on a journey—a journey to ask big questions, to ponder our place in our communities, country, and ultimately the world. We’ll explore the environmental and social circumstances of some of the most beautiful places on Earth as we focus on science, service, culture and leadership. This is no ordinary travel experience! We’ll get our hands dirty; we’ll overcome personal challenges; we’ll learn, grow and laugh along the way, and ultimately, we’ll walk away changed.

__What is a Responsible Global Citizen?__
A responsible global citizen continually explores the complexity and interconnectedness within our world, emerging as a self-aware servant leader who strives to make the world a more equitable, sustainable place now and for generations to come.
