Be first to hear about pilot cohorts and early access.
A field-based learning experience
Globalist Abroad is an initiative inside Globalist University built around the idea that some forms of learning only happen outside of familiar environments.
This is for people willing to step into unfamiliar environments and see the world more directly.
Early experiences may include coastal communities, developing regions, and emerging local economies.
Cultural immersion
Service-based contribution

Expanded global perspective
Most global programs are designed for the participant.
This is designed for the environment you're entering.
Not a vacation.

Starting small
