Sample Media Stories
- CBS Sunday Morning: Embedded journalist on a Leading the Way Expedition
- NPR: “Students Trade Skyscrapers for Rainforest”: Post trip production with audio collected by Global Explorers staff and provided to NPR.
- Local Newspaper Story: Teen Open Eyes…Typical local newspaper story in participating student’s hometown.
Sample Donation Pages & Ideas
- Learning Afar General Portal: Through this portal donors can contribute directly to Learning Afar. We can customize entry fields, automatically send Afar an email when a donation is made, automatically send customized emails to donors, reroute donors directly to wherever we want them to end up and much more.
- Group Specific Fundraising Page: On these pages, we can set a target and have a thermometer show progress towards the target.
- Online Raffles to Raise Funds: This is a link to an online raffle model that we plan to implement at Global Explorers starting as soon as October. The idea is to offer free prizes including trips on a monthly basis. Visitors have to buy a raffle chance (e.g. $5/ticket). Proceeds support Global Explorers and/or Global Explorers Learning Afar
