Built for Educators
Community Impact
Students engage in locally-led projects, cultural exchange, and immersive experiences rooted in genuine grassroots partnerships, designed for meaningful learning beyond the classroom.
Curriculum-Aligned
Customize your trip around structured learning outcomes aligned with your academic goals. A dedicated GIVE rep helps shape your vision, while dedicated guides bring it to life.
Every Detail, Handled
End-to-end support from program customization, trip logistics, risk management, pre-departure support, dedicated guides, and on-the-ground execution.
Student Recruitment
We help fill your trip through GIVE reps, info sessions, marketing materials, and enrollment guidance to support student interest from initial interest through sign-up and onboarding.
“The immersive experience can’t be replicated in a classroom. Standing knee-deep in water, clearing invasive species side-by-side with local leaders who describe the intricacies of their ancient fishponds is not something students can absorb by reading.”
– Dr. Kenneth Cohen, Ph.D FCS/Recreation and Sustainable Tourism
“GIVE provided the critical personal connection with the local community, it’s leaders, teachers, and residents. I whole heartedly recommend partnering with GIVE. Pursue the partnership, have a good idea about your program goals, and then work with GIVE staff to have it come to fruition.”
– Jennifer Despain, TESOL Section Coordinator, NCSU
