“Last summer at Amherst, I overcame my fear of the unknown and I now view the world in a totally new, different way. I took a public speaking course and my instructor helped me to find my voice in this world. I gained a self confidence in myself and learned how to encourage others in return. I am so glad I had a chance to experience this program and I wish that more students could have this experience like I did.”

“Before this trip, I didn’t truly grasp how connected we are as one human race. I now understand the bigger picture concerning climate change and its effects.
