What is a Broadreach Custom Program?

What do you get with a Broadreach custom program?

Customized course design

When designing programs, we always start with the goals of our partners. We bring our international experiences and hands-on learning focus to every program as we work with you to create exactly what you need. We find that the most successful programs focus on learning outside the classroom through active, growth-filled experiences, so we’ll suggest locations and activities that allow your group’s time to be centered in learning-by-doing. All Broadreach programs are developed, facilitated and supported by our dedicated Broadreach staff, from pre-departure all the way through your return home.

Risk management

It’s important to us that teachers and group leaders are able to focus on the experience with their group, so we’ll take a lead role in managing risk both before and during the program. We create well-planned courses, provided trained support and detailed location-specific guidelines. The structures we put in place allow all participants to focus on their experience and accomplish their goals. We also have support back home at Broadreach HQ. In Raleigh, N.C., there is always an on-call team ready to assist while programs are in the field. Partners can feel confident in the support Broadreach provides.

International network

Broadreach has worked with extensive global network of community leaders, educators, researchers, professionals, cultural experts, and facility and equipment managers. These relationships enable us to be efficient and ensure every aspect of the experiences meet or exceed your expectations. While we organize all parts of your experience, we work closely with outfitters and experts around the world to ensure an incredible program from start to finish.

Flexible itineraries, timing and costs

Our experience, global reach and diversity of course offerings allow us to deliver a variety of high-quality, customized programs throughout the year. We will work with you to optimize the program experience for your budget at whatever time of year works best for your group.

Custom resources

Prior to your program, we create a specialized website to assist you in promoting and enrolling students. Enrolled students gain access to a customized portal that facilitates necessary pre-program processes, making it easier to organize deadlines, finances, travel details, packing lists, curriculum guides, passport data and more.

College credit

Going beyond the common approach to group travel, Broadreach pioneered a relationship with Lesley University to offer rigorous, short-term courses for college credit. We have several past and current summer course offerings that are available for 2-3 college credits. Let us know if you’re interested in offering your students college credits on your program, and we can work together to design a custom itinerary for you that aligns with these approved courses.

Dedicated support

From program development through your return home, Broadreach will provide support to you and your group. Prior to the program, we can help promote your program, answer incoming family questions, manage payments and prepare your group to travel. During your program, a trained Broadreach instructor will assist in facilitating the course and Broadreach HQ staff will be on call. Once you return home, we’ll help you with the debrief process and to wrap up the experience. We recognize that each school and organization has different preferences for involvement, so we will work with you to determine how our partnership will manifest itself at each stage of the process
