About Us
At The Green Lion Academy, we believe the best way to prepare for your career is to experience it. That’s why we design global internships that go beyond the classroom, immersing you in real-world, hands-on roles where you’ll gain the skills, confidence and cultural awareness employers value most.
Our programs are built for ambitious students and graduates who want more than just a line on their resume. With opportunities across healthcare, education, media and more, The Green Lion Academy helps you transform your studies into practical experience that sets you apart in today’s competitive job market.
Our Story
The Green Lion Academy is powered by The Green Lion – a global community of tourism operators, changemakers, and explorers who believe in experiencing the world with purpose.
For more than 25 years, The Green Lion has been creating authentic travel, cultural immersion, and volunteer opportunities that go far beyond the ordinary. Unlike many travel providers who simply resell programs, we design, build and operate every experience ourselves, working on the ground with local communities to ensure safety, impact and genuine cultural connection.
With our headquarters in Thailand and operations across 30+ countries and 100+ destinations, our grassroots teams live where they work. They know the culture, they know the people and they know how to deliver programs that truly matter. Wherever you join us, you’ll be welcomed by a dedicated team eager to share their home and their expertise with you.
The Green Lion Academy is the next step in our journey, bringing our decades of experience in purposeful travel into the world of international internships. As more students and graduates seek opportunities to stand out in the job market, we’ve created internships that combine the best of both worlds: professional growth and cross-cultural immersion.
