GLOBAL COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP
The Global Community Leadership (GCL) Program is a Youthlinc core program in partnership with Utah State University designed to meet the demand of college students. Participants can enroll for credit through partner universities, or participate for no credit.
The goal of these study abroad trips is to deepen your understanding of what it means to be a “humanitarian” by exposing you to an integrated local and international experience embedded in academic learning.
GCL guides participants in an impactful direction, creating community leaders who have a practical and academic understanding of the complexities of local and international citizenship and humanitarianism.
PREPARE
GCL teams are made up of one professor and 10-20 participants. Teams will prepare for several months before their trip through project development and an online learning component.
TRAVEL
Study abroad and have a unique hands-on service learning experience. Each team has a specific academic focus and international projects.
EARN CREDIT
Participants can enroll for credit through Utah State University, or participate not for credit, although everyone is expected to engage in the coursework.
