Global Student Embassy (GSE) provides the opportunity for students to create positive international change through grassroots development projects. We bring youth leaders together from participating communities in Morogoro, Tanzania, Cusco, Peru, Santa Fe, Argentina, and Sonoma County, United States. Students in all locations raise funds and work to travel abroad to each other's communities for 4-6 week working visits. GSE directors and students communicate regularly throughout the year, and collaboratively plan with one another via Skype and e-mail. Directors in each location facilitate workshops in which they discuss globalization and the development of community projects.

Program directors in Peru, Argentina and Tanzania communicate with GSE's directors and students in Sonoma County, California.  The local directors organize grassroots community projects with university and high school students. GSE directors lead service-learning visits to and from California. While staying with host families the visiting students and local students and community members work on service projects related to food and water access, and other basic needs of our communities. Students learn that they can impact meaningful change in partnership with young people from different cultures, ethnicities, nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Participants carry these lessons back to their communities and on to university, and their professional careers. GSE student leaders learn that our communities have diverse issues and strengths, and that we also share some of the same challenges. With an open mind and commitment to our grassroots approach, we are able to help build a peaceful global community.
