At the heart of every Global Works journey are carefully designed service and experiential learning activities. We choose our locations based on criteria that includes experiential and educational value, safety and logistical support, affordability, and demand. Most of our locations develop out of personal connections between our directors and staff and local people within the communities we partner with.
