    Overview

    You may have heard of Global Leadership Adventures service-learning adventures...but how about our internships abroad? 

    These short-term internships are designed for high school students ages 14-18 who want to take their learning experience to the next level. Work in partnership with GLA and a global nonprofit partner or social enterprise. Spend three weeks in one of seven countries, in the field learning about a subject area of interest--while earning college credit!

    Get hands-on with professionals in the field! We'll use the United Nations' SDGs as our framework, as we learn firsthand through shadowing and assisting on real projects that contribute to local communities. Alongside your Internship Supervisor, your cohort will get an intensive experience while still enjoying all that your host country has to offer: hike Machu Picchu in Peru, zipline in Costa Rica or go on Safari in South Africa.

    • Bali: Community Development / Business & Sustainability
