Take a Chance

Take a Chance

"I’ve gotten good at going along for the ride in France. It’s amazing how quickly you get used to putting yourself in unfamiliar, uncomfortable situations that, after a while, don’t feel intimidating at all. Never before have I felt so fearless, and that perspective is going to stay with me as long as I live."

Become Part of a Family

Become Part of a Family

"I am constantly talking and laughing with my host siblings and I’m doing it in French. The day I moved in my host mother said to me, “You’ll be like my fouth child!” I couldn’t stop smiling. I am part of a family here and it’s made my transition so much easier. "

Find Out Who You Are

Find Out Who You Are

"I can’t imagine going home right now. I feel like I’m making my own life for myself here: the daily routine, friends, and family. I knew leaving would be difficult, but because of the experiences I've had with my friends and classmates, it's even harder than I thought."

Gain Confidence Speaking a Foreign Language

You don’t just want to learn a language. You want to live a language—to become fluent not only in a language but in an entire culture. That doesn’t come from a book. It comes from immersing yourself.

  • Learn Mandarin with a Chinese host family

  • Make the Parisians think you’re a local

  • Teach a child English while you work on your Spanish in the Dominican Republic

  • Work with the Red Cross to help people in Spain

  • Take on a rural community service project in the Dominican Republic

  • Teach English in a Chilean public school

Let us help you find the program that can use your energy and passion to make a difference in the world.

Acquire a Deeper Understanding of another Culture

There’s more to a culture than just a language, and you’re interested in all of it: from food to art, history to sports. It’s the little things that make living in a foreign country a unique experience. If you want a full cultural experience, we can get you where you need to be.

  • Spend a Celtic-infused semester in Cork, Ireland

  • Become one with the coast of Chile

  • Take a summer to dive into the Dominican Republic
