Global Glimpse is a nonprofit international travel program that takes high school juniors on 11-day summer experiences to Costa Rica, Panama, or the Dominican Republic, combining service-learning, cultural immersion, and leadership development. Students participate in pre-trip workshops and work on meaningful community action projects alongside peers from diverse backgrounds across the country. Since 2008, the program has served over 9,650 students from 100 schools nationwide, with sliding-fee scholarships making the experience accessible to students from underserved and underrepresented communities.
