Welcome to the Global Speakers Service (GSS)!

GSS programs are structured to fit the needs of the requesting organization.  We provide services to educational organizations, nonprofit organizations, service groups, and youth organizations.

Interested in inviting a global speaker to your program or organization?

Each program is designed specifically for your group or organization.  Our speakers can be prepared to give lectures, interactive presentations, or work at a fair or booth.  Please allow a lead time of up to four weeks and extra time if you need multiple speakers. Global speakers volunteer their time and resources and are not able to travel outside of the immediate Bloomington area.
