About us
Get Up and Go Colombia (GGC) is a youth-led non-profit organization which started in 2016 by local young people from Cauca. It aims to empower communities affected by conflict through sustainable tourism, social entrepreneurship, languages and community-led development. We also co-design transformative experiences with communities that connect travelers with local stories, contributing to socioeconomic opportunities, and promoting peacebuilding across Colombia.
Our work
We believe in the transformative power of travel to create social change. Our work is rooted in empowering communities affected by conflict, contributing to sustainable development, and connecting local resilience to global opportunities. Our initiatives are organized around four key thematic areas: sustainable tourism, social entrepreneurship, bilinguism and peacebuilding.
