The program is supported by [[Education Development Center|Education Development Center (EDC)]] and [[City College of New York|City College of New York (CUNY)]], which together operate the GLOBE Implementation Office (GIO), along with a number of partners. In addition, NASA’sNASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) manages the GLOBE Data and Information System (DIS) that provides sustained operation and engineering of GLOBE’sGLOBE's information technology infrastructure. The GIO was supported by the [[University Corporation for Atmospheric Research]] (UCAR) in [[Boulder, Colorado]] from 2014–2024.

The GLOBE Program provides the opportunity for students to learn by taking scientifically valid measurements in the fields of [[atmosphere]], [[hydrosphere]], [[pedosphere]], [[biosphere]], and [[Earth system science|Earth as a system]]. Students report their data through the Internet, create maps and graphs to analyze data sets, and collaborate with scientists and other GLOBE students around the world. All the GLOBE data and observations are in the [[public ___domain]] and the program is committed to [[open science]].

GLOBE has a Mosquito Habitat Mapper application for data collection.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mosquitoes Training |url=https://observer.globe.gov/training/mosquitoes |publisher=GLOBE |access-date=25 May 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171001121633/https://observer.globe.gov/training/mosquitoes |archive-date=1 October 2017}}</ref>
