Safety Abroad

 

All students are required to attend or watch online a pre-departure orientation as well as read the program manual, which clearly outlines our safety expectations, policies and procedures.  Global LEAD will provide students with the information and tools to make smart decisions and every student must take full responsibility for their own decisions and actions.

 

We have two main safety policies abroad:

 

Buddy System (or Rule of 3): No student will venture out alone. In Greece and Ecuador, students will travel in a minimum group of two. In Cape Town, students will travel in a minimum group of three. This rule is non-negotiable and applies to the entire time we are abroad.

 

Sign-in/Sign-Out: Any time a student leaves the accommodations on a non-Global LEAD group activity, they must complete a sign-out sheet, listing where they are going, who they are going with, mode of transportation and a phone number.
