Testimonials

Jennifer F.

My daughter had an absolutely wonderful trip. I honestly cannot say enough good things. The experience matched and exceeded my expectations. She absolutely adored all the mentors and the international director. She made so many new friends and is really missing them! She talked all the way home from the airport about her experience. Most of all, I think she treasures the relationships that were formed. As a parent, the communication from the company before the trip as well as the blog during the trip was superb. I never worried about her safety, as I could follow along with their daily activities. I will definitely be saving up for another trip for her in the future.

Our daughter went on a GLA program in Thailand, and when she returned we were so impressed with how passionate she became learning about the rest of the world. This inspired me to take our whole family on a Discover Corps trip to Costa Rica. It was an enriching and fun experience that brought us closer. I plan on sending our younger son to the Summer Springboard program when he is in high school.

My daughter attended last summer and her experience in the program was superb! It really impacted her on both personal and academic levels. From the people she met, to her class and instructor, to the excursions, everything was top notch and we were just so pleased with the amazing experience she had. She tells everyone about her time, which tells us that it really was something that meant so much to her. Look into it, I am sure you will be happy you did!
