We promote this type of learning by collaborating with colleges, universities and other organizations around the world.
The Center for Global Education is involved in many local, statewide, regional, national, and international projects that need your support. Below, you will find a list of many formal current projects and their related websites. Under the link to each site is a description of how that site functions within our overall mission statement, and how your support will enable these and other projects to continue to grow and be valuable resources to the field of global education.

Barriers to Study Abroad in the California Community Colleges
Funding would support expanding outreach efforts to increase the participation of community college students in study abroad programs, with a special goal of reaching out to under-represented students.
Southern California Consortium on International Studies (SOCCIS) Communication

California Study Abroad Council
Funding would expand the opportunities of study abroad for college and university students in California; it is critical that outreach activities inform students of all backgrounds, and at an early age, that these programs are available for them.
Project for Learning Abroad, Training, and OutreachThe Project for Learning Abroad, Training and Outreach (PLATO) is an integrated study abroad training, certification, and diversity outreach program. Funding support would allow us to expand the development of GlobalScholar.us (on-line courses for study abroad) and Allabroad.us (diversity outreach for study abroad).
