At WorldStrides, we are committed to the personal development that happens when we interact with people who have different perspectives. We believe in extending the opportunity to learn through engaging others of all races, ethnicities, creeds, gender identities, sexual orientations, and physical and mental abilities.
Our commitment to the principles of diversity, equity & inclusion extends to our workplace and program locations, where we believe in creating inclusive spaces that promote and value diversity. We believe this focus makes us more successful, and that creating an environment that encourages people of all backgrounds to contribute their best work is the right thing to do.

The WorldStrides Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Scholarship was established in 2022 to expand access to educational travel and experiential learning. With over $3.7 million awarded since the scholarships inception, this initiative aims to create more inclusive opportunities for individuals to become global learners.
