Success Stories
I remember finding the website for the program and feeling as if my passions had been lit on fire. For me, the #1 appeal was the value that comes from putting so many diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences from so many different countries in one room together, and being given the ability to ask questions and problem-solve with one another.
