About Terra Education, Inc.

Terra Education, Inc. offers international service-learning programs for students of all ages, from all over the world, to learn the skills required to be effective global citizens in an interconnected society. Their flagship program is Global Leadership Adventures, a short term study abroad program that sends high school students to developing countries in order to work under grassroots leaders who are changing the world one community at a time.

We became a B Corp in order to join a movement of other companies who hold values similar to our and to raise awareness among the general public that there are businesses who are truly committed to solving the world’s problems through their operations.

Their participants volunteer with community-based organizations to refurbish schools, mentor children, build homes and plant vegetable and medicinal gardens. In addition to the annual 25,000 hours of volunteer labor their students contribute, Terra Education allocates a percentage of its revenue to finance community development projects in these communities.

The Change We Seek™

Their mission is to empower students to realize their potential to change the world and their role in it. They believe that all people have the potential to be a leader and affect positive change.

In order to provide opportunities for all students, regardless of income, they work with non-profit organizations to actively recruit students from low-income and underrepresented backgrounds and provide in-kind scholarships to these students so that they may have an international educational experience.

In addition to the opportunities they provide in the United States, they partner with schools in Africa to recruit African students to participate in their programs in order to be part of the movement to develop the next generation of African leaders.
