Mission statement:

“To build cultural connections, one person and one community at a time, impacting our local and global communities.”

Vision statement:

ESF is a progressive organization with an interest in building partnerships and growing trusting relationships. We are always interested in opportunities that support communities locally and around the world. We foster the growth of future world leaders through interrelationship building and limitless learning opportunities through practical application. ESF has the intention to expand to various local communities within the United States and countries of the world.

Our programs are designed to integrate civic duty, travel with education so that the exchange of knowledge is used to improve relationships among diverse cultures through personal communication, humanitarian projects and assistance as well as practical training and application of learned skills. We are humanitarians and seek to participate in the international exchange of information and ideas. We are committed to outreach, to support students and communities of people that are underrepresented, economically, socially, religiously and/or ethnically.

Goals:

Our goals are not about making a profit but building relationships and giving back to the community, to provide leadership to our future world leaders in order for them to make informed decisions; not assumptions, and to support living in a global and culturally diverse world. ESF will provide participants with an opportunity to become fully immersed through independent-practical experiences locally and internationally in order to gain insight to the educational systems, observe multi-cultural comparisons and perspectives on the social, economic, financial, legal, historical, artistic, healthcare, political, scientific or religious aspects, in or about other countries or within the United States.
