Cultural exchange is at the heart of our programs- solving the world’s environmental problems requires sustained local engagement, creativity, and global action.

GSE connects students involved in our local programs in the US, Nicaragua, and Ecuador to share ideas, build momentum, and work in partnership with their international peers.

Students engage year- round through video exchange, and our exchange programs.

Each year students from Ecuador and Nicaragua visit the US to connect and support local projects, and students from the US travel to Nicaragua and Ecuador to learn from, and build upon locally driven environmental movements.
