reviews

I accomplished so much more than I thought I was capable of and came away with so much more than I would have from a traditional internship. I would absolutely recommend this program – it was an amazing experience!
Madison, Vanderbilt
I learned a new way of thinking; Corkscrew Thinking which is something that I will be able to use throughout my life. I recommend this program to anyone looking to personally grow and wanting to become more independent.
Cole Holan, Emory
Honestly, this program was awesome! When I think about my personal development: it inspired me to grow, it gave me a different perspective, it helped me become more social and outgoing, to make the most of life and to believe in my ideas.
Rahim, CUNY
One the best experiences of my life. The program has an incredible approach that challenged my perceptions of things and situation. Taking the risk was a decision that I will never regret.
