The GLOBE Program seeks to teach students in grades K–12 scientific research skills using real experiments and equipment. Students, educators, and scientists collaborate in a unique global learning network.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Baker |first1=Amanda |title=The GLOBE Program: Making the Case for K–12 Citizen Scientists |url=https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/budding-scientist/the-globe-program-making-the-case-for-k-12-citizen-scientists/ |access-date=26 March 2021 |work=Scientific American Blog Network |date=19 September 2017 |language=en}}</ref> The GLOBE Program also engages members of the public as citizen scientist through the GLOBE Observer app.

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’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) manages the GLOBE Data and Information System (DIS) that provides sustained operation and engineering of GLOBE’s information technology infrastructure. The GIO was supported by the [[University Corporation for Atmospheric Research]] (UCAR) in [[Boulder, Colorado]] from 2014–2024.
