tomorrow, is the youth of today. Young people
are inspired to care about the world around
them thanks to the work of organizations like Global Explorers”
- Dr. Jane Goodall

“When I first heard about Global Explorers I wanted to get involved right away. Their values are my values. The student travel industry is more than just a field trip to the Statue Of Liberty. That's important, and has its place, but with our planet experiencing dangerous ecological, social, political and economic shape shifting, the future of our global community depends on the young people of the world…”
![Page 14: Sustainable Tropics: Costa Rica Adams 12 Students and Families](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110405/568133a9550346895d9ab8c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

“…And if we expect them to rise to the occasion and lead us into the 21st Century then we better make sure they understand the world. And the only way to do that is to let them see it. Global Explorers connects young people with the 'real' world. Not the world of tourist attractions and museums. The world of people. And through service, provides them with perspective changing life altering mechanisms for understanding the importance of globalism.”
- Andrew Zimmern

“It was the most wonderful, enlightening and meaningful thing I have ever been a part of… I felt this swelling inside, like my consciousness, my confidence, my inner self was literally just growing. I have never felt more comfortable with myself or any other group of people in my life.”
- Jaclyn, Student Explorer
