Has anybody gone with a friend to the same place?

Hello-
Global Citizen Yeat had a pretty rigerous application process and a limited number of places each year. Also the program strives to places it's fellows in sites where they will be challenged to be in their "stretch zone". The concept of a stretch zone is to be in an environment that is unfamiliar and that challenges you. Though it isn't impossible for you both to be accepted and your preference of site placements (both country choice and community choice) are taken into consideration, it cannot be garuanteed that you will both be placed together in either the same village or same country. There are many other programs where you can both travel together more easily if you really want to spend the entire time together in the same place- but if you are flexible, consider Global Citizen Year! Good luck.
