Social & Environmental Responsibility
Leading with Purpose:
Building a Sustainable Future Together
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at NOA:
At NOA Adventures, we are dedicated to upholding social and environmental responsibility in every aspect of our mission. We view travel as a powerful catalyst for fostering global understanding, breaking down barriers, and nurturing a deep respect for the Earth and its diverse inhabitants. Our commitment extends to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within our administrative staff, operations team, field instructors, student body, local communities and partnerships worldwide.
​
We acknowledge the inherent complexities and imbalances related to issues of race, class, gender, privilege, and power within the realm of international education. Therefore, we are committed to creating a community that encourages critical self-reflection, awareness, and proactive engagement with these themes, ensuring that our work positively impacts both the global community and the environment.
​
Aligned with our values, NOA Adventures endeavors to create an inclusive and compassionate group experience for all participants, fostering a space where every individual feels respected, supported, and valued. We strive to listen, learn, and provide resources through initiatives in each one of the countries we have programs.
Our dedication to social justice, environmental stewardship, and inclusivity shapes every facet of our programs, guiding us to create transformative experiences that promote a more equitable, just, and sustainable world.
We prioritize avoiding the imposition of our beliefs and cultures on the local communities we visit. Instead, we engage in active listening and learning from these communities. Our guarantee is that our work aligns with their support, addressing what they find important and valuable, ensuring our projects are respectful with everyone.
