As we step into 2020, we are reminded to reflect on what we stand for. These values have been our guiding pillars for over 5o years, and they have grounded us in offering some of the most well-respected programs in the field of immersive education.
Every year is truly special at Global Routes. We feel honored to facilitate meaningful cross-cultural experiences in some of the most beautiful places in the world! 2019 was no exception, and we want to thank you for being a part of it.

“My summer trip with Global Routes changed my perspective on community service, international travel, and how I wish to make my impact on the world. With the support of my fellow group members and incredible leaders, I took a life changing step towards becoming the person I have always aspired to be. – Lauren, Student, Tanzania 2019

“The program had all the elements we were seeking: a small group, an intentional community, a real service project and a physically challenging aspect.” -Linda, 2019 Parent
