More About Us...

 

Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. strongly supports international development and cultural exchange.  The U.S. and international affiliates of Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. are dedicated to making the world a better place, promoting peace, understanding and non-violence throughout society. 

 

Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. works with the most reputable exchange organizations in a host country.  We require that all employees, officers, agents and third parties involved in the administration of the programs are adequately qualified and appropriately trained.  Communication between the affiliates is constant and together we create a global network available to our participant's 24-hours a day/7 days a week.

 

Participants are highly qualified, educated, motivated and enthusiastic individuals, who have a desire to experience another culture first-hand.  All applicants are interviewed, selected and placed in a program most suitable with their personal and professional qualifications, as well as the Host Employer/Association needs.

 

Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. is committed to:

  • Promotion of International internship and volunteer programs by individuals, students and graduates.
  • Involving participants directly in the day to day life of an International culture through established programs.
  • Partnering with and enhancing foreign institution programs that build international partnership and expertise.
  • Supporting the expansion of quality foreign language learning and in-depth knowledge of international culture.
  • Supporting the efforts of educational institutions to improve access to the highest quality international experience by increasing the number and diversity of students to intern and study abroad.  Encourage students and educational institutions to select non-traditional study-abroad locations and helping under-represented institutions offer and promote international opportunities for their students.
  • Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. supports the efforts of the local and state governments and educational institutions to promote international awareness and skills in the classroom and on campus. 
  • We are committed to working together to strengthen programs that build international expertise in the U.S., academic institutions and the business communities.
  • Strengthen and expand models of international exchange that build lasting cross-national partnerships among educational institutions with common interests and objectives.

Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. differs from other cultural exchange organizations in the following ways:

  • Our first priority is the assurance that every participant is 100% satisfied with every aspect of their program!  To ensure the highest level of personal attention and service is provided to each participant, prior to, during, and following their program, GYO limits its placements annually. 
  • GYO Participants are granted "Preferred Placement Matching" to ensure their placement priority over other programs participants.
  • Participants are provided with a CONFIRMED placement prior to departure!  This includes name of Host Employer/Association, job responsiblities, rate of pay (where applicable), etc...
  • All participants receive in-depth Pre-Departure information and guidelines, including a Participant handbook, prior to their program starting.  This enables the participant to prepare accordingly for their program and ensure they are thoroughly educated and thus more comfortable before leaving their home country.
  • Participants are assigned an "International Program Director" in their host country to ensure 24 hour local support is readily available.
  • Airport transfers upon arrival/departure to/from host country are arranged for  all programs.
  • Global Youth Opportunity, Inc. will be pleased to personally work with participants in creating a "customized" program to suit their needs.
  • No participant is too old!  A variety of programs provide opportunity for ANYONE who is 18 years of age or older!
