Custom Group Travel
Life-Changing international journeys for groups
Global Leadership Adventures Custom Group Travel programs are customizable experiential and service-learning programs for middle school, high school, and university student groups.
Your Adventure Starts Here!
At GLA, we believe that travel and cross cultural experiences are not only educationally enriching, they are crucial to the formation of global citizens and the success of lessons learned in the classroom.
GLA Custom Group Travel will work with you to create the perfect trip for your group, with either pre-designed or customized itineraries that provide an environment for members to learn, grow and challenge themselves.
While many GLA programs are open for enrollment for any teen who wishes to enroll, our Custom Group Travel programs are designed and facilitated exclusively for your group.
GLA’s global partnerships span the globe, making travel approachable for groups traveling together. Our longstanding personal relationships in every community that we travel to, paired with years of experience bringing diverse groups abroad, allow for maximum customization options, genuine cultural immersion and expert facilitation on the ground.
Programs & Destinations
Global Leadership Adventures operates programs in locations around the world, throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America & Europe. GLA Custom Group Travel can design a customized itinerary for your group based on your program goals and student needs, any time of the year. We can also customize the theme of your program. Select any GLA program on this website, and navigate to the Custom Group Travel section on each program page for details on how you can customize our pre-designed programs for your group.
