Pledge to L.E.A.D. by 2030

Join the L.E.A.D. campaign - Leveraging Education Abroad for Development - by pledging 10% of student-athletes and athletic staff at your institution will participate in an abroad program by 2030.  
Why L.E.A.D.?

Seventy percent (70%) of student-athletes regret not studying abroad while in college due to their athletic commitments according to an NCAA study. With your help, we aim to change that statistic by 2030.

​

The L.E.A.D. campaign mobilizes athletic departments across the country to create international opportunities for student-athletes and athletic staff to prepare for a global world.

​

Since Global Players started the movement in 2008, we have been challenging the status quo by leveraging education abroad for development. We care deeply about student-athletes across all sports and demographics getting access and exposure to international people, places, and practices. These are the global leaders of tomorrow.
