Community Engagement & Global Awareness
Collaborate on projects and connect meaningfully with people of different cultures. Deepen your understanding and awareness of issues affecting communities around the world.
Contribute to important initiatives planned in partnership with these communities and trusted contacts. Pour cement to replace dirt floors, restore a water storage and irrigation system, or lay a foundation for a community kitchen—in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Morocco, Vietnam, and more.
Design your own independent project to engage in local life, immerse yourself in your host community, and learn how service work can be fun and educational. Receive a certificate for the number of service hours you complete.

Active Immersion in Language & Culture
Immerse yourself in a language abroad to accelerate the pace of learning. Challenge yourself outside of the classroom with active language lessons, cultural immersion, and real-world use of your Spanish or French skills.
Improve your confidence speaking through daily interactions with native speakers. Cook alongside your host parent in an Ecuadorian village. Interview locals in Madrid’s Retiro Park. Spend a week with a homestay family in France, or experience daily life with a host sibling.
Sign a pledge to speak in the target language throughout your experience. This commitment, combined with an adventurous spirit, is the principal tool for making progress and improving fluency in a foreign language.
