Incredible experience!

The Seeds of Change program in Ecuador was one of the highlights of all of my high school summers. Learning about sustainable agriculture in such a culturally rich and beautiful country was very impactful, especially when thinking big picture about agriculture and food policy. The participants on my trip shaped my experience in an enriching and amazing way-our discussions were thought provoking and open-minded and we all just had a lot of fun together. Our trip leaders were super engaging and fun, but also very organized. We explored a handful of different parts of Ecuador, the Andes and then the coast, which was beautiful. Everyone was excited and engaging with everything we did, which made the trip so great. Being around like-minded, environmentally-conscious people solidified my interest in the environment as well as my undergraduate study of environmental policy at a small liberal arts college.
