World Bridge Cultural Exchange Program
Fostering Global Citizenship by nurturing international student relationships
Our flagship international program allows students a classic Travel Abroad experience, but in a virtual format that enables cultural enrichment and adventurous experiences that are affordable and accessible for all students.
Ideal for: Future diplomats and anthropologists, international non-profit CEO’s, kids with an eye on a Fulbright someday! We also recommend World Bridge Cambodia for students who simply want to experience the joy of meeting friends and celebrating different cultures.
The WorldBridge goal is to foster Global Citizenship by nurturing international relationships between students.
A Global citizen transcends geography or borders and connects to others in a way that champions cultural exchange, learning, relationships and empathy.
