Diversity & Inclusion 💙

At AIFS Abroad, we support all participants in their study or internship abroad journey — no matter their gender, race, religion, age, physical ability, or sexual orientation. Everyone’s identity is shaped by many different factors, and for some, faith, spirituality, and religion play an important role in choosing where to go.

We encourage you to think about what matters most to you as you explore your program options.

Each person brings their own background and perspective, and that matters when choosing a program and a destination. Taking time to reflect on your identity and learning about the experiences of others is a meaningful part of going abroad.

Everyone’s journey is different, and where you go can shape how included and comfortable you feel. As you explore your options, we hope the information below helps you find the program and location that feel right for you.

China

Mar 26, 2012

I had the opportunity to study abroad with AIFS to Nanjing, China in Fall 2009. This experience truly has shaped who I am today. I learned what it meant to be cultured and independent. I made relationships with people that will last a lifetime as well as unbelievable memories. China was the first time I ever left the country and AIFS welcomed me and took me along for an amazing journey. I am so passionate about the experience I had in 2009 that I encouraged my sister to go to Prague this fall through AIFS. I know that she is in good hands and I am confident that she too will have a life changing experience.
