Individual Travelers

Individual students ages 14-24 who are not a part of an organization can travel with Global Explorers in many ways. For 2010 travel, check out the map above or the links below for the following opportunities:

• Leading the Way: A nationally-recognized program that brings together students with and without disabilities on extraordinary journeys. This year's destinations include the Grand Canyon and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Learn more and apply now!
• 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 2010, Girl Scouts can travel to the Arctic, the Amazon, Machu Picchu or the American Southwest. Not a Girl Scout? It's easy to join! Simply reigster with your regional Girl Scout Council. The annual fee is $12. Find a Council near you and become a Girl Scout!
• Hear the World Expeditions:In 2010 the Global Explorers Hear the World Expedition will integrate students of mixed hearing abilities for the learning adventure of a lifetime in the Peruvian Amazon. Much more than a simple trip, the Hear the World Expedition will include preparatory curriculum, a two week international field workshop, follow-up service projects and a large-scale public outreach campaign. Hear the World Expeditions create the unique platform where unique groups of students explore science, culture, leadership and service while at the same time raising awareness about the importance of hearing and the consequences of hearing loss.
• 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!
