GEEO believes encouraging teachers to travel is the best way to equip American youth with the knowledge needed to ensure a strong positive global role for America in the future. Our teachers often have the time and the desire to travel: we will help to make sure they have the means.
GEEO will:
1: Establish long term relationships in the education community as a well-known, trusted organization that provides opportunities for teachers to travel, volunteer, and work abroad.
2: Provide a long-term, worldwide educational resource for teachers wishing to broaden their global perspectives and relationships.
3: Partner with other NGO's on mutually reinforcing projects and programs..
4: Offer teachers incentives to travel internationally that includeprofessional development credits, as well as grant and scholarship subsidies for the cost of travel.
5: Make goodwill ambassadors out of teachers by enabling cross-cultural experiences and volunteerism.
6: Ensure that teachers share the excitement and knowledge gained from their travel with tested curricula.
7: Encourage teachers to educate their students about the opportunities to study and travel abroad while attending university, during their summer vacations, or before entering college.
8: Help the next generation of Americans become more outward-looking and dedicated to improving the world around them.
