Teen Summer Trips
Global Works Experience
For over 35 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. 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. Read more about our Policies and Initiatives
DIRECTORS’ LETTER
Being parents of two teenage daughters has taught us so much! Every day, we’re reminded that while we’re not perfect, this journey is one we wouldn’t trade for the world. Parenthood comes with a subtle but constant awareness that this window of time with our teens is fleeting.
For teenagers, these years are full of challenges—but also brimming with possibility. It’s a time when new experiences shape who they are and who they’ll become. Travel offers an unparalleled opportunity for growth, encouraging us to step out of our routines, embrace the present moment, and connect in meaningful ways.
This year, we’re proud to celebrate 35 years of creating immersive travel adventures that inspire resilience, self-confidence, and empathetic leadership.
We’d love for you to join us on this journey!
Warmly,
Polly and Fritz

Leadership
OUR TRIP LEADERS, THEY’RE INSPIRATIONAL!
With so many returning staff (approximately 75% 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 partner communities. Most of our programs have an additional, onsite director to serve as support for our group while simultaneously working closely with the Global Works Home Office in Louisville, CO. 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 the 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 may 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.

I was very curious on this trip, always asking questions and listening because there were so many interesting things that I’ve never seen before. There were so many opportunities to become a leader or grow confidence, even options like being the leader of the day, or sitting in the front of the boat for rafting, or trying surfing for the first time.

The trip enabled us to experience many diverse and unique locations in France (mountains, cities, small towns, lakes, the sea…), creating a true immersion experience. Moreover, traveling to different regions showed the linguistic and cultural differences in those areas, giving us the opportunity to practice our French in different settings.
