Participants in Global Kids' Power of Citizenry Leadership Programs are provided with opportunities for educational travel both domestically and internationally, through which they interact with and conduct workshops for peers, participate in conferences and events, and visit cultural and historical sites.

At forums, conferences, and events, GK Leaders interact with local and national leaders and gain exposure to business, political and cultural organizations, often bringing the only youth voice to the forums in which they participate. They also regularly conduct workshops for other youth about such issues as globalization and trade, immigration, diversity, bias prevention, conflict resolution, youth civic participation, and other issues.

In the United States, students have testified before members of Congress as part of the Global Campaign for Education’s Global Action Week in Washington, DC; attended the Fair Trade Convergence in Denver, CO; and traveled to the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, CA; among many others.

Abroad, GK has brought teams of staff members and youth leaders to Croatia, South Africa, Denmark, Kenya, Eritrea, Haiti, South Africa, Northern Ireland, and other countries. A team of Global Kids Leaders travels aboard the Japanese ship Peace Boat for 10 days each year, to countries including Jamaica, Panama, Colombia and Costa Rica. The HRAP International program took six students to Costa Rica, six students to Mexico in 2008, and five students to Kenya in 2009.

On such trips, youth have opportunities to:

• Visit various cultural and historic sites and youth organizations.
• Learn firsthand from speakers and cultural institutions about other culture and politics.
• Facilitate interactive, experiential workshops for international participants on topics such as global citizenship, conflict resolution, and youth empowerment.
• Visit with local non-governmental organizations to learn about their work toward achieving social justice and fostering intercultural dialogue.
