First Semester Group Travel Abroad

During the first semester of a LEAPYEAR, students travel in groups of 8-12 with two experienced adult leaders. During the 2008/09 LEAPYEAR, students can choose between groups that travel to India or South America. The groups travel together for a total of 10 weeks, and the emphasis is on breadth of experience - immersion in the language, sampling of diverse short-term internships, social service work, trekking, work with endangered animals or on behalf of the environment, and completion of  short-term contemplative retreats. During these group travel months, students learn skills they will need to live, travel and work independently during the second semester solo internship.
