National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions cares deeply about the planet and is proud to serve as a catalyst for meaningful change. In honor of Earth Month, throughout April we will be featuring unique stories that illustrate different facets of our mission–from sustainability and science to conservation and education. Here, learn more about the Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship which provides deeply enriching experiential learning opportunities for educators across the country.

Each year, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions welcomes a cohort of pre-k to 12th grade educators aboard the fleet for a life-changing, field-based experience. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship—a professional development opportunity designed to increase geographic awareness in classrooms, schools and communities—gives educators invaluable access to remote destinations around the world.

Exploring wild and remarkable places like Antarctica, Galápagos, Iceland and the Arctic provides new perspectives on the planet, inspiring travelers to take actions that will help protect and preserve the wildlife and natural wonders. The impact these voyages have on teachers and in turn their students can create ripple effects that last for years to come.

In the videos below, meet two 2024 Grosvenor Teacher Fellows and watch how they’re translating their travel experiences into extraordinary learning opportunities back home.
