A travel, exchange, adventure or study-abroad trip can be the highlight of a young person’s life. International travel carries inherent dangers and risks – especially for American youth and students abroad because few laws and no federal: guidelines, oversight, or transparent public reporting exists in this $20 billion industry entrusted with hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, of our youngest global citizens. ClearCause provides tools and information to help parents, youth and chaperones identify risk and take positive steps to mitigate these risks on programs abroad. Our CAUSE is CLEAR – Keep America’s Children and Students Safe Abroad.
