We are committed to making international travel and global learning inclusive, accessible and affordable.

We are challenging stereotypes and diversifying the industry by providing university-level academic content, international experience and professional development to people from all backgrounds. We believe that everyone has something to learn and something to contribute to the world. Whether you are a babysitter or a retired teacher, an auto mechanic or majoring in mechanical engineering, a parent or a part-time student, our program is for you!*
