Big News! 🎉 CFHI and Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative (the Collaborative) are thrilled to announce our new partnership.

CFHI will be the new institutional home and fiscal sponsor for the Collaborative. This partnership unites two organizations deeply committed to ethical, community-centered global engagement and transformative education. The Collaborative is known for pioneering Fair Trade Learning Principles and the Global Solidarity and Local Actions Toolkit – vital resources championing justice in global learning.

As CFHI’s Executive Director Robin Young shared, "This is more than a hosting arrangement—it’s a shared commitment to equity, ethical partnerships, and building a more just and inclusive future through global learning."

Collaborative co-director Sarah Stanlick added, “This new partnership with CFHI allows us to amplify our efforts to scale ethical, intentional global learning through curricula and programs within higher education and beyond.”

We're excited to strengthen our collective impact for sustainable global communities!

"I had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this program! I spent days shadowing at the local hospital, practicing Spanish, and learning about the local culture." – Sarah Ridings, Health Sciences student at The Ohio State University

Sarah's CFHI journey in Córdoba, Argentina, was truly one-of-a-kind! Beyond the hospital, living with a local host family became a very special part of the experience. "This experience has shaped me as a student, professional, and individual. I built so many long-lasting relationships and Córdoba, Argentina will now hold a special place in my heart forever."

Her advice to you? "Just do it! Get out of your comfort zone, be open minded, take the leap and you will not regret it." Inspired? Learn more at https://www.cfhi.org/program/global-health-in-argentina/
