Great personal and professional development

The preparation for my trip abroad with Projects Abroad was the only part that could have been better. I had an advisor that was terrible with communication for a few months, but once she was replaced I had a great experience. Their communication was awesome after that, and I felt very prepared for my trip.

The staff in Mongolia was welcoming and professional. They really helped me adjust and their check-ins made me feel safe and cared for while there. My placement site was a bit difficult due to the language barrier, but everyone was so kind and welcoming and the work I did prepped me for my future professional goals.

I also loved how well Projects Abroad connects volunteers to volunteers. The social events were great, and I felt like I really had a community to be a part of.
