A Message from Xperitas

As the year 2016 draws to a close, we have been reflecting on how it has never been more important to come together as One Global Community. We believe that enabling people to immerse themselves in another culture is an integral part of cultivating a knowledgeable, compassionate and peaceful global community.

The complete integration of what were previously Intercultural Student Experiences & Global Citizens Network provides the robust platform for Xperitas to realize our vision of “all people connected in one global community” by transforming lives through shared global experience and intercultural learning. This coming together, as one stronger, more capable, organization is proving our original idea that we are better together. 

Here in the United States and across the globe, our staff and international partners work tirelessly every day to provide opportunities for people to meet and build relationships. Our goal is to provide experiential immersion experiences that serve as the foundation for developing cultural competencies and help to grow tomorrow’s leaders in our global society.

We are grateful to help empower those who might not have the opportunity to travel abroad to do so. Next summer, a group from North Community High School in Minneapolis will visit and work with an Afro-Ecuadorian community in Latin America as part of our Global Learners Scholarship Program. The students will conduct research on the community and the history of the Atlantic slave trade and will produce a documentary of their experiences. We promise to share this film with you next year!

By participating in our programs, working with our staff or supporting our organization in other ways, you are helping Xperitas realize our mission as we change lives, one by one, across the globe. Thank you for your continued support.

Happy Holidays!
