We are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging

Our vision is to open study abroad access to all learners regardless of gender identity, race, physical ability, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status so that they have the opportunity to develop the soft skills required to navigate today's interconnected world.

Our goal is to increase access to study abroad opportunities by expanding and diversifying our network of colleagues and travelers to create an intercultural experience that is educational and transformational for all learners.

Social identity resources for student travelers

Each student who travels with EF Study Abroad has their own unique identity—and we want to ensure all of our programs are comfortable, enjoyable, and accessible for them. That’s why we’ve created an evolving collection of resources to help travelers feel more informed and prepared for their programs, no matter where they choose to go.
