Mission

Global Student Embassy is an international youth leadership program that connects students from the US and Latin America to work together towards positive community and environmental change. Global Student Embassy's mission is to empower young leaders to become environmental stewards, social innovators, and community leaders. In collaboration with international peers, students generate and implement powerful community-based solutions to shared ecological concerns.

What We Do

In Northern California, Nicaragua and Ecuador, GSE runs Eco-Action programs that provide hands-on learning opportunities during in-school and after-school programs.

GSE believes that through academic enrichment, ecological project development, and cross-cultural collaboration, students will:
• Build local networks that steward the transition to community and food system sustainability
• Increase the volume of local, organic food grown and made accessible to communities in need
• Accelerate local ecological restoration
• Understand local environmental threats—and responsibilities—are consistent worldwide
• Experience international grassroots network-building of advocates for environmental change
• Build leadership, relationship, technical, and global citizenship skills relevant to high school, university, and career settings
