An effort is made to balance the group between US citizens and participants from other countries, especially international students. The Global Village is held at the lowa 4-H Camp and Conference Center on the Des Moines River near Luther, lowa. Participants sleep in dormitory-style lodges. Meals feature foods from around the world and will be prepared by a resident chef assisted by participants. You must bring your own bedding, towel, soap, snack food to share, etc.
Contributions support the program activities.
Financial assistance is available for participants who need help, but you are expected to participate fully in the planned activities of the camp and complete an evaluation and reflective summation. You are encouraged to seek local support. The Global Village is planned and organized by a team from several of the sponsoring organizations along with participants from previous years. Some activities emerge from participant initiative. Organizations and individuals are invited to give donations in support of both program and scholarship funds.
