Programs Designed to Meet Your Needs
From academic enrichment to professional development, we create experiences that align with your goals.
Academic Alignment
Design programs that seamlessly integrate with your curriculum and course objectives.
Whether you’re teaching African-American history, environmental science, or global politics, we create experiential learning opportunities that bring your classroom content to life. Students engage directly with historical sites, cultural landmarks, and subject matter experts, deepening their understanding through immersive, hands-on experiences.
Example: African-American history courses—Civil Rights Program in Atlanta & Montgomery.
Professional Development
Elevate your teaching practice through transformative international experiences.
Participate in specialized workshops and training programs designed specifically for educators. Learn innovative teaching methodologies, engage with international colleagues, and gain fresh perspectives that you can bring back to your classroom. These experiences strengthen your professional skills while fostering global connections.
Example: S.T.E.A.M program for teachers in Guatemala.
Community Service
Connect students with meaningful service projects that create lasting impact.
Our community service programs go beyond traditional voluntourism. Students work alongside local organizations on projects that address real community needs—from food justice initiatives to environmental conservation. These experiences foster social responsibility, cultural understanding, and leadership skills while making a genuine difference.
Example: Milk Justice Program in Vermont.
Global Education and Experiential Travel
Expand worldviews through authentic cultural immersion in diverse international settings.
Take students beyond tourist destinations to experience authentic cultural exchange. Our programs in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa provide opportunities to engage with local communities, understand different perspectives, and develop global competencies essential for today’s interconnected world.
Example: Programs in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa.
Faculty Sabbatical
Rejuvenate and expand your expertise through customized global learning experiences.
Designed specifically for faculty seeking professional renewal and academic growth, our sabbatical programs offer deep cultural immersion and specialized learning opportunities. Whether exploring artistic traditions, research collaborations, or pedagogical innovations, we create experiences that align with your academic interests and professional goals.
Example: See video of Dance Department chair’s sabbatical of East African dance in Tanzania and Kenya.
