🎉 Sound the bells.
Cue the confetti.

This July, Global Glimpse welcomed our 10,000th student—a milestone made possible by thousands of students, families, educators, partners, donors, and supporters who believe in the power of immersive travel and leadership development.

For nearly two decades, our community has invested in helping young people step outside their comfort zones, expand their perspectives, and discover the leaders they are capable of becoming.

This milestone isn’t just about the number.

It’s about 10,000 young people who have traveled beyond what they thought was possible.

It’s about 10,00 students who have learned to think critically, lead with purpose, and collaborate across differences.

It’s about 10,000 future teachers, entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, engineers, artists, and community leaders returning home with a broader understanding of the world—and their place within it.

The future will be shaped by leaders who can navigate complexity with curiosity, empathy, and human-centered solutions.

That’s the future we’re building together.

And for that, we are incredibly grateful.

To every student, family, educator, donor, partner, volunteer, and champion who has helped us reach this moment—thank you.

Help Us Identify the Next 10,000 Young Leaders

While we’re celebrating the first 10,000, we’re already looking ahead to the next.

We know there are thousands of young people whose lives could be transformed by an experience like Global Glimpse. Students who are ready to disconnect from the noise, connect with others across cultures, challenge their perspectives, and discover their own leadership potential.

If you know a high school student who leads with curiosity, courage, and purpose, we invite you to nominate them today.

Don’t know a high school student? You can still help!

Share this opportunity with a friend, colleague, teacher, coach, counselor, or parent. 

Every future leader starts with someone who believes in them, and sometimes, simply sharing an opportunity is the first step in changing a life.

Together, let’s build the next generation of globally minded leaders.

Here’s to the next 10,000. 🌎
