Global Glimpse

Global Glimpse is a non-profit organization that provides transformative travel and leadership opportunities to high school students from all backgrounds. Since 2008, our award-winning programs have served over 10,000 students + teachers and provided $17M to make travel possible for students from 100 high schools and youth organizations across the United States. Funded by hundreds of individual donors and leading companies like Expedia Group, Marriott International, and Snap Inc., and United Airlines every student who attends one of our partner schools is eligible for a sliding scale scholarship. Once accepted, our students engage in pre-trip workshops that prepare them to participate in a structured 11-day international experience focused on service-learning, cultural immersion, and leadership development in Panama, Costa Rica, or the Dominican Republic. The Global Glimpse program is thoughtfully designed to expand perspectives, bridge divides, and unlock leadership potential so teens can differentiate themselves and change the world, one little bit at a time. We believe that travel is one of the most powerful forms of education. We envision a world where every young person can say “I travel.” Learn more about our programs and opportunities for educators, donors, and partner organizations at globalglimpse.org.
