Description from student participant:
Elephant Program:  I got to learn a lot about elephants and I got to connect with these magnificent creatures. Going overseas without Knowing anyone can be scary but it taught me a lot about myself and making friends. My program took place in different locations in Thailand.

Climate Change Program: Studying how climate change affects coral reefs. We were in the water almost everyday for 2 weeks seeing different types of reeves in different shapes because of climate change. We learned a lot of marine biology lessons and got to see what healthy vs. not healthy reeves were while learning the importance of all the species and the reef as a whole. It was the most incredible experience of my life and I feel so provenances to see these untouched coral reeves while they're still alive as so many are depleting. My program took place in Fiji. We spent some time at the main island but also ventured out to many of the small, more remote islands.


Where is the program: All over the world, depending on the program.


Length: 2-3 weeks
