Mt. SAC students have the unique opportunity to engage in a cross-cultural experience while providing peer to peer mentoring. F-1 international students are paired with the Mt. SAC campus community with similar interests. Global Pals get to learn about each others' culture, while participating in social happenings throughout Southern California. In addition, students get to create friendships with students from all over the world! Applications are accepted each August and February.

Some activities Global Pals do are; introduce your Global Pals to your friends, hangout together on weekends, grab coffee or study together, check out a Mt. SAC sporting event, and attend Global Pals events. Global Pals experience amazing excursions and activities for free.  Past participants enjoyed kayaking, rock climbing, horseback riding, indoor go kart racing, and zip lining. Transportation is included in the program.
