Global Works 2023 Summer Service Adventure Catalog

Global Works Experience

For 33+ years, Global Works has been an industry-leader in providing exceptional community service, cultural exchange, adventure travel, and language immersion programs for teens.

Our educational and student-centered approach builds independence, resilience, and leadership skills within participants to foster personal growth. Much more than a vacation, Global Works programs are the bridge for meaningful cultural exchange with people around the world. Global Works has a well-deserved reputation as one of the most professional and well organized student travel operations, with an established culture of safety.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION STATEMENT

Global Works believes that travel is a vehicle for growth and social change. We value a culture of diversity with inclusion of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and socioeconomic status - this starts in our home office and extends to the teachings of our staff and program partners around the world.

Global Works strives to be a team and develop accessible programs representative of the many backgrounds and identities of those we seek to serve.

Achieving these goals requires commitment and focus. We have integrated DEI policies and initiatives into our programs and office operations, which we continue to build upon.

DIRECTORS’ LETTER

Don’t call it a comeback! 2022 felt like the beginning of a new era at Global Works. June marked our first fully in person staff training since 2019. It was emotional and cathartic for many of us, old and new, to be reminded of how important this community is to us all. Summer enrollment reached new heights as energetic and eager students joined us on adventures across the world. Many communities reopened their spaces and homes and generously took students in as members of their own family. A common theme we heard throughout the summer was joy. Joy meeting new friends, joy from overcoming challenges and feeling successful, and the joy of life changing experiences in new places. It never ceases to amaze how traveling so far from home can be the most effective catalyst for growth and change when we return. We’ll see you soon in 2023!

COVID-19 Updates

• We have developed extensive protocols and action plans related to COVID-19 best practices to reduce exposure.

• Global Works is requiring all eligible participants to have completed a full regimen of a COVID-19 vaccine. Evidence of vaccination should be provided to Global Works no later than 2 weeks prior to departure.

• An Option B is recommended and available on the application in the event that a programs cannot move forward due to travel restrictions or general safety.

• In the cases of cancellation due to COVID-19 and/or travel restrictions, students are encouraged to transfer, penalty free, to another available program or receive a full refund of tuition paid less the deposit. Deposits are non refundable after January 15th and would transfer as a lifetime credit applicable to a future Global Works program for friends or family.

Leadership

OUR TRIP LEADERS, THEY’RE INSPIRATIONAL!

With so many returning staff (about 85% each year), we feel our staff leadership is one of our greatest strengths. Global Works hires a diverse group of skilled, knowledgeable, fun-loving adults who organize and lead trips according to high standards of quality, safety, and of course, fun! They are leaders chosen for: experience working with students, flexibility, organization, language skills, cultural competency, a sense of humor, and responsibility. Additionally, the average age of our staff is 28, with a majority of our leaders working as professional educators

With at least two adult staff on each summer program, we are able to achieve a sensitive awareness of the needs of our participants and communities. Most of our programs have an additional, onsite country director to serve as the logistical backup for our groups (while working closely with the Global Works Home Office in Louisville, Colorado). Each of our staff leaders must be certified in Wilderness First Aid and CPR and participate in our annual staff training.

Universal Learning Goals

Universal Learning Goals are threads that run through all Global Works programs. They embody Global Works’ aspirations for holistic programming. These goals are non-hierarchical and are rooted in the Global Works mission, vision, and inclusion statement, staff input, and developmental needs of teenagers in today’s world. Before and during programs, Directors and Trip Leaders intentionally map out these goals across the various stages of their program to instill this ideology in all of their participants.

PURPOSE:

Students will discover their North Star- a set of interests and values that inform and give meaning to next steps in a student’s work, study, and life paths. Students will develop their own sense of purposeful, responsible, and authentic experience.

WONDER/CURIOSITY/INSPIRATION:

Students will cultivate curiosity and a sense of wonder about the natural and human worlds that will inspire them to continue to seek knowledge and understanding through experience. Global Works programs are a gateway.

RESILIENCE AND CONFIDENCE:

Through the right balance of challenge and support, students will develop confidence and resilience to persevere in the face of challenges.

LEADERSHIP:

Students will understand the power they possess to provide an example for others, to lead, to make space for others to lead, and to follow; and to make a difference in their communities.

GLOBAL MINDEDNESS:

Students will gain a broader perspective, unlearn habits of hierarchical thinking when they encounter cultural differences, and understand that though others see problems differently, they can also be right.

EMOTIONAL AWARENESS AND SELF-REGULATION:

Students will develop greater self-awareness, understand what shapes their expectations, and learn to manage their own emotions. They will learn to prevent emotion from creating unnecessary conflict.

SELF-RELIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY:

Students will develop skills to solve their own problems constructively, communicate what they need, and take accountability for what they can control.

SUSTAINABILITY/CITIZENSHIP/CONSERVATION ETHIC:

Students will recognize their contributions to a sustainable future, their obligation to live in right relationship with the planet, and the complex change required to balance the needs of diverse stakeholders.

LIVING IN COMMUNITY:

Students will wholeheartedly commit to the Global Works ethic of inclusion, value compromise, practice constructive communication, learn firsthand what it takes to keep a community healthy and strong, and take steps to repair relationships when necessary.
