HEAR FROM A FORMER STUDENT
"I went into the program not knowing what to expect and I came out with experiences that will shape my life forever. In this program I was pushed to view my American sexual education in a different light when comparing it to the education in the Netherlands. We had amazing speakers in the classroom who were all so knowledgeable in their field. But really the best part of the trip for me was the people I went with. The group leaders were so good about making sure we safe and having fun. And the other students were some of the most open minded and inclusive people you could ever meet. That is the kind of environment that this program fosters. This program was full of learning both inside and outside of the classroom."
