At our recent Alumni Ambassador Summit in Chicago, Glimpsers engaged in thoughtful conversations surrounding the question, 'What legacy do you want to leave as a young changemaker?' So that begs the question: What is YOUR legacy? Share your answers in the caption! #changemaker #legacy #leaveyourmark #globalglimpse #alumniambassador

In the United States, we're taught the American Dream—that with hard work, we can achieve success. But success can look different from person to person. This is the story of how travel reshaped Kaiyell P.'s understanding of success and how he applied this new perspective to scholarships and opportunities that helped him blend his passions and make a difference in his career. #careerpath?#scholarships?#finance?#successstory

"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." – James Baldwin This Black History Month, we honor the wisdom of James Baldwin and the countless Black leaders who have confronted and continue to confront injustice head-on to drive transformative change. Their tremendous courage shows us that progress begins with acknowledging hard truths and committing to action. In a moment of immense uncertainty and struggle we stand strong in our commitment to empower young leaders to face injustice and work toward a future where diverse voices are valued and access to opportunity is equitable. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackExcellence #JamesBaldwin #YouthLeadership

In Chitré, Panamá, our students explore the heart of local culture through the rich traditions of pottery in the La Arena area. Known as the "Portal of Chitré" for its diverse craft designs, La Arena is home to a family of clay pottery artists who keep centuries-old traditions alive. During their visit, Glimpsers meet local craftsman Don Lucrecio Batista, a third-generation pottery master, and witness the entire pottery-making process. From sourcing clay in Mexico each spring to the meticulous drying and firing process, students see firsthand the dedication and skill required as they explore questions like: What is culture and where does it come from? How does culture stand the test of time? Who is responsible for passing culture from one generation to the next? Don Lucrecio's demonstrations bring the craft to life, showing how a piece can be spun in minutes but requires weeks of preparation. Glimpsers then get to take turns at the pottery wheel themselves, creating and painting their own clay pots to take home. This hands-on experience gives them both a deeper understanding and appreciation for the cultural tradition and its deep significance in Panamá. They also learn how government programs support these arts, ensuring that traditions are passed down to future generations. We love seeing students connect so deeply with the cultures they visit, cultivating a greater understanding of cultural preservation. ? #GlobalGlimpse #MoreThanTravel #Panamá #travelpanama #impactdriven #innovation

While you might see a simple school painting project, our impact goes much deeper. ?? As part of a Community Action Project, delegations collaborate with community leaders to assess areas of need and set thoughtful goals. For this school beautification project, Glimpsers learned that their murals do more than improve the physical environment—they create vibrant, inspiring spaces for learning and foster a sense of pride and community, which in turn can lead to higher attendance rates. A welcoming school boosts morale, enhances learning, and encourages active participation. It’s an investment in education and a reminder that small acts can make a lasting impact on entire communities. Alumni, comment your on CAP project and how it made a difference in the lives of the communities that you served. #SchoolBeautification #GlobalGlimpse #ChangeStartsHere #CommunityImpact
