Global Works is a program tailored to what teenage kids are interested in while still focusing on what parents are concerned about when sending their kids on any kind of a teen trip. Thanks so much for providing Charlie with a great experience.

For a kid who has already covered about half the globe, Debra had a sublime experience. Global Works has impressed and we'll be sure to let others know about it.

The homestay was my favorite part of the trip because I felt like I was emerged in French culture. I think my host family was a great match!
