We go to the most exciting and interesting places and run both short and long-term programs. For young people between 18 and 26 we have a Youth in Action program in Kenya, Nepal and China. If you have 3 months to spare and would like to help and at the same time have a great holiday experience act now ask for our FREE brochure |
| On our long term programs, Academic and Semester, you'll have the opportunity to learn and speak a new language fluently, explore part of another country, experience what it is like be and exchange student in a different type of school and really come to love the place you can call your second home. |
| Or, like hundreds of other young people you might be interested in our very popular Cultural and Lifeskills program. This program is totally different from the usual exchange program. It offers two months of fun, excitement, challenges, learning, friendships and heaps more! Imagine the best adventure and Lifeskills program you've ever been on or heard about and then make it twice as exciting!

| On all our two month Cultural and Lifeskills programs we have trained staff who travel with you. They are there to support and help you inspire you to have the best time of your life. They live alongside you and are on hand to assist you Whichever program you choose there will be lots of excitement, adventure and learning. |
| Going overseas with us is
a big commitment. It requires you to
be ready to experience the world and its people in a totally new way. You
need to be ready to live with a family that will be different to your own
and in a house and country different to what you know and have grown comfortable
with.
Going overseas is also a big commitment financially. Most people need to talk with their parents about how to pay for the program. A lot of our participants contribute to the cost of their program themselves by having part time jobs. They plan ahead and budget for their trip. Some fund their program 100% |
| We really acknowledge the commitment of these people, because they demonstrate a high level of maturity and determination to achieve their goals. Perhaps this is what you will need to do if your goal is to travel on one of our programs. If you are too young to have a part time job you might be able to do odd jobs for family or friends to raise your spending money. There are many ways to help finance your trip. Talk over the options with your parents tonight. |
| Included in this package is
a letter to your parents. Please pass it on as it gives them some important
information about our programs. Talk with them and if you need any more
