ClearCause-Federal law to protect American children and students who study, travel & exchange abroad
The Issue
Keep American children and students safe on foreign soil by holding youth travel, exchange and study abroad programs to the highest standards.
- The cause is clear – our children, America’s next generations, must be protected from the abuse, injuries and deaths that have occurred in a self-regulated youth travel, foreign exchange and study abroad industry.
- Those we entrust to take our young adults and children overseas must be responsible – and held accountable. That’s why we’re fighting for realistic reforms, like first-time federal oversight, US standards of practice, and mandated transparent public reporting of organizations that operate study-abroad, foreign-exchange, global student travel and similar programs.
- Use your voice for the safety of young people traveling internationally.
Let them see our world. Help us keep them safe and protect them.
