Our Experience
Our operations began in 2004 in Latin America, traveling with thousands of students across the continent on outdoor and experiential education programming. In 2012, the Envoys brand was established to catalyze a new standard for global education, with initial programming in Colombia, China, Ecuador, Peru, South Korea, South Africa, and the United States. Envoys’ thoughtfully developed operational systems and clear educational mission catalyzed our expansion to over thirty countries in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Currently, more than thirty full-time employees work in our procurement, logistics, risk management, and traveler service teams, with hundreds of full-time and seasonal field staff spending thousands of collective days each year with groups of students in the field.
On a daily basis, we design and create unique educational experiences, from joint high school baseball scrimmages in Osaka to discussion groups with North Korean defectors in Seoul, interviews at nursing homes in Havana to immersions with microloan recipients in Lilongwe, multi-day treks with nomadic Berbers in the Atlas mountains to shadowing emergency responders in Washington DC.
We recognize the necessity of experiences outside of the classroom to develop globally competent youth, and we believe that educational travel must meet the same high expectations that have been placed on the rest of the education sector. To that end, we utilize rigorous evaluations to drive our performance and communicate our results, both internally and externally. Every curricular element is field-tested and regularly assessed for its effectiveness at meeting learning goals.
Schools We Have Worked With
“We had an amazing program. It was a biology teacher’s dream and Felipe and his crew couldn’t have been more thorough and professional to work with. Thanks for all of your efforts to organize an unforgettable experience for us all.”
Gerry • Teacher
“With their emphasis on empathy, and their general intelligence in planning, Envoys has quickly emerged as a premier global program provider. They are well worth the attention of any of our schools.”
Paul Miller • NAIS
“The Envoys staff were exceptionally committed to us and to the goals of our trip. They were thoughtful, kind, caring, friendly, with a great sense of humor, yet serious in their connection to the ethos of professional development that was our trip’s purpose. I was struck over and over again by how they literally RAN to be in the right place to respond to any given situation.”
