Organizations in the Field

"...They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests."

"Asia Society is the leading educational organization dedicated to promoting mutual understanding and strengthening partnerships among peoples, leaders, and institutions of Asia and the United States in a global context. Across the fields of arts, business, culture, education, and policy, the Society provides insight, generates ideas, and promotes collaboration to address present challenges and create a shared future."

"At Oxfam, we believe young people are critical to building a just world without poverty. We know they have the power to be active global citizens, and create a fairer, more secure future for everyone."

"ASCD empowers educators to achieve excellence in learning, teaching, and leading so that every child is healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged. Comprising 113,573 members—superintendents, principals, teachers, and advocates from more than 129 countries—the ASCD community also includes 71 affiliate organizations."

"...Join our movement to educate, engage and inspire the next generation of changemakers, so that our K-12 education system ensures all students can thrive in our complex, global future."

I have been involved with EF Tours since 2013, taking students to other countries in structured, safe tour groups. This educational experience is life-changing for so many of the students involved that I can't not recommend it (or a similar organization).
