Peace Works Travel provides transformative, socially conscious study-abroad experiences aimed at developing 21st-century global competency and positive impact. Founded by teachers, the organization emphasizes meaningful experiential learning and partners with NGOs to address local problems using entrepreneurial methods such as Lean Launch Pad, guided by empathy mapping and design thinking to generate long-term solutions. 

Its programs align with Common Core (C-3) and International Baccalaureate standards, supporting pre-departure preparation and cultural immersion for students and educators. The approach centers on service-learning through social entrepreneurship rather than short-term charity, supported by access to in-country experts including survivors, authors, scholars, journalists, and policy-makers. Based in Santa Barbara, California, the company operates with a small team and offers teacher training, risk management resources, and digital storytelling to document learning experiences.
