The Global Youth Village is a unique summer program that truly inspires young people to achieve their highest potential. Teens from around the world come together and discuss global issues and develop their leadership and dialogue skills while creating unforgettable memories with their new friends from all over the U.S., U.K. Egypt, Nigeria, China, Germany etc. They find common ground living, working, and studying with each other and become inspired to 'be the change.' Traditional summer fun activities like pottery, swimming, rock climbing, ping pong etc add balance to the morning workshops.

Global Youth Village been around for 40 years and has trained over 5,000 young people from over 105 countries! We are located in south-central Virginia, on 50 acres of woodlands in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our staff members are highly qualified and come from diverse backgrounds.

Join us for a summer that lasts a lifetime!
