We are dedicated to facilitating quality programming to students with varying levels of accessibility. With our wide portfolio of program types and locations we’re confident there is a suitable and accessible program for each student.

Response from WorldStrides
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your experience. We value your feedback and are sorry to hear that your internship was not what you expected it to be.
Our team takes pride in its efforts to provide students with the best possible internship match. However, changing internship requirements after advising sessions have been completed does impact the team’s ability to find the perfect company placement due to reduced time for the matching process.
If concerns about a placement are raised to the ISA Internships team, we endeavor to communicate those concerns with placement supervisors and to develop an action plan to address those concerns. Following up and adjusting the action plan is then a shared responsibility.
We strive to provide the best possible placements for students based on the information we receive from the student and their needs/wants from the internship, providing a forum for the student to learn from the host organization to hone current skills and learn new ones. When placements are not an exact match to student expectations, it is important for the student and the host organization work together to create the best possible experience within the parameters of the host organization's ability to meet those expectations.
As an organization committed to excellence, we welcome and foster an open dialogue with students, parents, and university advisors on all program related matters. For further information on these topics, please feel free to call us and ask to speak with a member of our Internships team. ISA's mission is to provide high quality education abroad opportunities to college students from around the world, and we remain committed to upholding that mission for every student.
