One Step Initiative (OSI) delivers global education opportunities to the nation’s most underserved high school students. Our vision is to be the number one study abroad provider in inner city high school education- granting students the experience of interacting and learning in an international environment through quality study abroad and service programs regardless of their socioeconomic status. Our goal is to equip youth with the tools and skills needed to succeed in a global economy.

OSI brings transformational learning activities to under-privileged youth that would have never been afforded the possibility otherwise.

OUR YOUTH GLOBAL AMBASSADORS
OSI’s Youth Global Ambassadors develop a new understanding of they can better serve their own communities. Upon return they will work to facilitate service learning projects and help five of their peers in expanding global awareness. In turn they will create a never-ending chain of support for everyone to get the help they need.

OUR METHODOLOGY

One Step Initiative frames learning experiences within the context of cultural exchange and language learning activities. For each activity, or segment of a trip, our leaders integrate an orientation, discussion, and a debriefing.
