“GIVE provided an opportunity for me to contextualize global issues I knew existed, enhance my spanish language skills (and communication skills in general) and gave me role models and mentors who could address worries or doubts I had throughout the trip. As a high school student doing service abroad, I think that my experience was that of learning by observing, asking questions that allowed for understanding. The exposure to types of people from all over the country and world gave me a critical lens to help me understand what kind of impact I want(ed) out of my future. It set the pace for my college experience and my continued love of Spanish and language learning.”
