Program Reviews:
Fall 2023 Participant
I learned how to travel by myself and speak a different language with locals.
Spring 2025 Participant
The most rewarding elements were the leadership training, personal growth, and cultural immersion. The leadership training exercises were huge in developing my personal development, and these exercises made me more in touch with my emotional intelligence and self-awareness. Living in a small town in Italy and traveling in Europe allowed opportunities for me to experience these new cultures, which were eye-opening as an American.
Spring 2025 Participant
I found the personal relationships and the independence to travel very rewarding.
