Our programs blend meaningful and challenging experiential travel, cultural immersion, personal and leadership development, outdoors and wilderness exploration, service learning projects, a focus on sustainability and travel ethics, and transferable academic credit options.
The programs have two goals for participants:
1. Learning about the people, culture, religion, history, environments and issues of the region the program travels through. Then relating these experiences to bigger picture concepts of globalization, human rights, environment, sustainability and ethics.
2. Providing a framework for participants to learn about themselves, to push their boundaries, question their assumptions, to stimulate problem solving and inquiry skills, and to gain leadership and group skills.
We aim to make the world a better place by providing extraordinary learning adventures that help participants gain the skills, confidence, and insight to reach their full potential in an increasingly global society, appreciate diversity in cultures, and further understanding of international issues.
