Globe Aware
Globe Aware seeks to promote lifelong advocates for a better world and to sustain the world’s cultural and natural resources. The organization, together with the local community hosts, develops effective local solutions to global problems in non-religious, non-political, multi-international environments. The aim is to expand and foster cross-cultural peace and understanding between Americans and the rest of the world, to preserve culture and promote sustainability. Globe Aware expeditions provide volunteers the opportunity to live and work side by side with a host community. The hosts provide a safe and interesting setting in which to learn, help, and have fun. The volunteers help to empower the host communities in creating renewable, self-sufficient programs. While Globe Aware’s financial assistance benefits the community economically, it is actually the involvement and collaboration between the volunteers and community that is the greatest mutual benefit.

Global Brigades
Global Brigades is the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization. Starting in 2004, it has mobilized tens of thousands of volunteers from its university chapters to partner with on-the-ground teams in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana. Working alongside rural community members, volunteers and local staff implement ten skill-based programs from mobile medical care, to public health infrastructure, to microfinance, which is collectively referred to as their “holistic development model.” Global Brigades’ long-term vision is to improve equality of life globally by igniting the largest student-led social responsibility movement on the planet.

ISL

International Service Learning (ISL)
Our mission is to support cultural awareness, service-based learning and sustainable development projects
through experiential and responsible volunteer travel programs that inspire local and global service. Since 1994, International Service Learning (ISL) has been leading groups of volunteers to twelve different countries providing essential community and medical services for those in need. We are passionate about providing a conduit for our volunteers to explore and travel a new part of the world. We hold with the utmost conviction that for volunteers to be successful they need to learn from professionals of the country they serve in. We believe in the power of the individual that chooses to serve and make a difference in the lives of others with their own two hands. ISL is a community of driven, empathetic, and ambitious individuals that seek to make volunteering in a new country an accessible opportunity for everyone. The sum all these ideas is what we consider The Heart of ISL.
