The Global Connections and Exchange (GCE) Program supports collaboration and online linkages among students, educators, and community youth leaders from U.S. and overseas secondary schools and youth organizations.

GCE participants expand their computer literacy skills, gain a deeper understanding of and respect for other countries’ cultures, and learn to better use technology in order to develop their leadership skills and influence change in their communities.

Participants at each of the U.S. and overseas sites engage in specialized trainings in digital dialogue and online media sharing, interactive theme-based discussions, and community outreach while collaborating on projects that are relevant to their communities.
