The Health and Safety of our Travelers is our #1 Priority

WorldStrides has been tackling the unprecedented for the last 55 years and our experienced team is leading the way, constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing heath & safety requirements that are imperative for student travel. Even with this changing landscape, the values that underpin our commitment to health and safety remain unchanged: a dedication to scenario and contingency planning that relies on a rich network of partners and a “do-what-it-takes” commitment to respond to whatever the world hands out. Below are just a few of the measures and resources we have in place:

  • Expertly trained Course Leaders to guide your group. Course Leaders are destination experts and will help bring learning to life for your students while navigating them through your itinerary.
  • Around the Clock Program Support: WorldStrides has staff members who are with your group at all times.  Exact safety measures vary by destination but could range from a staff member at your hotel to assist with any needs that may arise to night chaperones that watch the hallways while students are sleeping.  In some destinations, we provide 24-hour Course Leaders.  That’s all in addition to the support of Doctors on Call and WorldAssist.
  • Doctors on Call: our exclusive partnership with the Department of Emergency Medicine at The George Washington University
  • WorldAssist: our 24/7 safety and security command center staffed by WorldStrides team members who are specially trained to handle any situation – no matter how big or small.
  • WorldStrides Name Badges: provided to all students and printed with the WorldAssist phone number providing direct access to students should the need arise.

Exact safety and security measures vary by destination.  Please refer to your program specific materials for more details.
