LEADERSHIP

Global Leadership Adventures started as an educational institute, so we continue to think and act like educators—not touroperators—as we deliver life-changing programs. We intentionally weave a leadership curriculum into the daily experience on ourprograms. Through group discussion, meaningful service, workshops, speakers and excursions, staff guide students to reflect onprogram events through the lens of leadership, and celebrate outstanding examples of leaders they encounter in the localcommunity. Lending this context to the experience creates opportunities for students to dig deep into their vision, purpose andknowledge of themselves and the world.
