The globe program has been established at Elizabeth City State University as an outreach program sharing the Earth Sciences with students and teachers alike.

GLOBE is a cooperative effort of schools, led in the United States by a Federal interagency program supported by NASA, NSF, EPA and the U.S. State Department, in partnership with colleges and universities, state and local school systems, and non-government organizations. Internationally, GLOBE is a partnership between the United States and 102 other countries.

Over a million primary and secondary students in more than 12,000 schools have taken part in the program; there are more than 20,000 GLOBE-trained teachers.
