Program Lead Spring 2024

As a program leader working for Pacific Discovery, I cannot stress enough how special these opportunities are for personal growth and development. I take great privilege in embarking on 10 weeks of internal exploration, cultural learning, and volunteer work, traveling through two very diverse countries and making so many valuable memories along the way.

Not only are there the key lessons that help shape the individual perspectives of land, sea, travel, sustainability, and culture there are the many intricate lessons surrounding difficult conversations, empathy, values, navigating culture, and conflict resolution, not to mention learning how to cook, clean, become organized and contribute to group flow and cohesion. All these lessons contribute tremendously towards creating ethical and conscious individuals who can go on the shape the world into a better place locally and globally.
