This program changed my life. Spending a month in Colorado was exactly what I needed in this time of stress and uncertainty. It allowed me to disconnect from school and my life at home and bond with some incredible people in beautiful places. We learned so much in a short period of time, and we were given such an extraordinary opportunity to connect to and learn from nature. I believe my bonds with my peers and leaders will last a lifetime and I will carry my newfound knowledge with my in order to impact any community I am a part of in a positive way. I grew so much during my program in Colorado and am forever grateful for my experience.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?

Go into the program with confidence, especially if you don't know any of the other volunteers! It's such a special experience to bond with your group while just getting to know each other.
