While each Global Routes experience incorporates the same core components (community-driven service, meaningful cross-cultural exchange, etc.), each program destination is unique!

After operating for 50+ years, we love coming “home” to our friends and partners in the communities we visit. With each community, we build in extraordinary opportunities to connect and reflect, which means not only is every location different, but itineraries tend to shift year-over-year. If you’re deciding between several programs for this summer, use our program finder to identify the right fit for you!
