Global Works
Cultural Exchange Programs Just like our first trip to Puerto Rico in 1990, the “Cultural Exchange” Global Works Summer Service Adventure trip offers a blend of community service (estimated 10-15 hours per week), cultural exchange, and adventure activities. While several options exist in Spanish speaking destinations, there are no prior language study requirements and no formal language study involved, we just ask that you come with a willingness to learn and have fun! All Cultural Exchange programs include:
CULTURAL EXCHANGE Journeying to a small village incountry, we immerse ourselves in each of the local cultures. Living, working, and playing alongside our village friends, we expand our experience and vision of the world as we share in community activities and gain a deeper understanding of each other’s lives, traditions, arts, and customs. Global Works trips give you the opportunity to experience the language, spirit, and kindness of the people.
ADVENTURE TRAVEL A well-rounded journey is made extraordinary by its adventures! It is difficult to capture in words or pictures the magical feeling that overcomes one when standing among the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, or the feeling of confidence one has after rafting the Río Sarapiquí, or the pure sense of awe of the natural world when snorkeling in the Caribbean. Global Works understands that traveling isn’t about the souvenirs and postcards, rather it’s about what you give and gain from your heart and mind.

COMMUNITY SERVICE Global Works is a service company first and a travel company second. We partner with local communities and organizations to complete meaningful, well-organized and thoughtful service work. Our philosophy is to work with a village, not for a village. In partnership with community members, we hand select meaningful projects to provide a grass-roots experience that will make an authentic impact.
