A world of impact

At EF, everything we do ripples outward, transforming people, communities, and ultimately, the planet. This impact defines who we are as a company and how we contribute to a better world. These are the stories of EF's impact.

How we make an impact:


At the center of every EF experience is a person whose view of the world, and of themselves, is changed forever.

We seek to impact the communities where we live, work, and travel through our positive presence and community engagement.

Our contribution to a more sustainable and peaceful planet is underscored by a deep commitment to make the world a better place.

Stories of impact

EF and the UN SDGs

EF supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to further our mission of opening the world through education. These 17 goals provide a shared vision for peace and prosperity, now and into the future. Goal Four — Quality Education — is fundamental to EF’s business and purpose.

EF's mission

Our mission is to open the world through education. Over the past half century, EF has helped millions of people see the world through someone else’s eyes — one person, one community, and one moment of understanding at a time.
