Individual Travelers
Individual students ages 14-21 who are not a part of an organization can travel with Global Explorers in many ways. For 2012 travel, check out the map above or the links below for the following opportunities:
- Leading the Way. Our nationally-recognized program brings together students with and without disabilities on extraordinary journeys. This year's destinations include the Grand Canyon and Machu Picchu.
- Amazon Adventure: Peru Open Enrollment Program. Students ages 14-18 are invited to travel with peers from across the United States to one of the most incredible places on Earth. Journey deep into the heart of the Amazon Rainforest and explore culture, service, leadership and science in a truly unique and inspiring place.
- American Youth Leadership Program with Cambodia. This exciting cross-cultural exchange program, funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Youth Programs Division, will bring together students ages 15-17 of diverse backgrounds from across the United States for a once in a lifetime 26-day expedition to Cambodia in June 2012. In addition to the international expedition, participants join conference calls and webinars prior to travel, attend a retreat in San Francisco immediately prior to departure and engage in follow-up conversations upon their return. The rigorous educational content emphasizes responsible global citizenship as students explore the complexity and interconnectedness within our world and emerge as self-aware servant leaders who strive to make the world a more sustainable place now and for generations to come. Educators and students can apply to win a fully-funded cross-cultural exchange program!
- Girl Scout Programs. Each year, we offer programs for Girl Scouts via their Destinations Programs. Through these programs we help girls Discover, Connect and Take Action as they build their leadership skills, self-awareness and service commitments. For 2012, Girl Scouts can travel to the Amazon or Machu Picchu. Not a Girl Scout? It's easy to join! Simply register with your regional Girl Scout Council. The annual fee is $12. Find a Council near you and become a Girl Scout!
- Start Your Own Group! Find an adult in your community such as a parent or teacher who is interested in organizing a group travel experience. Then, put together a group of your friends and peers from your community and get ready to travel! Interested in this? Contact us!
