Global education programs and cultural exchange for K-12 schools and districts
Participate Learning runs K-12 cultural exchange and dual-language programs across a network of schools and districts. The stack is lean—Salesforce for CRM, Google Workspace for collaboration, video tools (Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut) for content production—reflecting an operations-and-content-first model rather than a tech-heavy platform. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 5 roles posted in the last 30 days, predominantly education-focused (4 of 9 open roles), signaling expansion in program delivery alongside a platform transition initiative.
Founded in 1987, Participate Learning designs and operates global education experiences for K-12 students, including cultural exchange, dual-language immersion, and international teacher partnerships. The organization serves schools and districts looking to build bilingual fluency and global competency in their student populations. Operations span student recruitment, teacher coordination, program logistics (orientation, onboarding, housing), and curriculum support. The active project list—arrival orientation, fall orientation, staff onboarding, ambassador teacher hotel arrivals—indicates heavy operational lift around in-person or hybrid program execution. Current initiatives include a migration to a new learning platform and refinement of payroll and benefits infrastructure.
