Summer 2019 Participant
I found being able to teach and then bond with the students, as both teachers and later as friends, was incredibly rewarding. Even though we were only there for a few weeks, it made me so happy to hear the students use the phrases they learned with us and to also tell us that they had fun with the lessons. Talking to them about both school and about general life was a very rewarding experience.

Kaitlin Krause, Summer 2017 Participant
Two classes is a lot of work. Be prepared to read and write a lot! However, it's nothing you can't handle if you prepare and do things in increments. It's difficult, but completely doable.

Summer 2016 Participant
My favorite part of the program was working with the students and the volunteer opportunities we had. All of the students were amazing and bright and made me enthusiastic to teach as well!
