About Us

 

Global LEAD is an innovative, purpose-driven organization, focused on leading transformative experiences at home and abroad.  Rather than abiding by the status quo, we believe that students should be able to combine the benefits of studying abroad, international service trips and backpacking adventures into a holistic experience that truly changes their lives.  Through our

academic partnership with the University of Georgia, we create, organize and lead adventures across three continents where we challenge participants to stretch beyond their comfort zone, engage in dialogue with cutting-edge leaders, explore education outside the classroom, experience the adrenaline rush of extreme adventures and serve local communities.
 
Our mission – to transform the trajectory of individuals’ lives through leadership, service and personal development – is not merely a plaque on the wall but integral to our unique company culture.  Therefore, unlike other study abroad programs, we believe overseas experiences are only the beginning of the LEAD lifestyle.  Our team is passionate about traveling the world, creating a sustainable impact, daring to dream the impossible and investing fully in future leaders.
