An Incredible Opportunity and Experience

I can not recommend this program enough. I worked for them for just under 4 months during which I lived in a great apartment, was given 2 weeks of thorough teacher training and taught multiple individuals from age 6 to 25 at two universities and an orphanage weekly. Trellis gives you the opportunity to actually have a visible impact on members of the community, which is rare to find in many programs. Furthermore at the end of the program Da Nang felt like a second home to me due to the ideal balance between independence and guidance that Trellis offers.

I was able to make friends and engage with the community in a way that I haven't been able to before whilst traveling abroad. I was also given a considerable amount of responsibility, being able to plan my own syllabus and classes. I was an 18-19 year old girl when I took part in this program, which was daunting to say the least, but Trellis made me feel safe, comfortable and confident. This is an experience I am so lucky to have had and would recommend it whole heartedly to anyone who wants to step outside their comfort zone in a positive way. I am undoubtedly a better person for it.
