"I spent three weeks with a coffee cooperative in Guatemala and learned more about agriculture, economics, and culture than in four years of college. Living with the families who grow the coffee I drink at home completely changed my perspective on global interconnection and sustainability."

"The coral restoration program in Thailand completely changed my perspective on environmental action. I'm now studying marine biology and planning to dedicate my career to ocean conservation. The hands-on experience was more valuable than any textbook could ever be."
