Infinite Possibilities.
Imagine what happens when you join a group of young poets, athletes, ecologists, artists, musicians, activists, authors and civic leaders from communities across the United States and around the world.
Imagine what happens during an inspiring summer program when you and your new friends live, work and learn with Albanian anthropologists, Spanish college professors, French chefs, Chinese environmentalists, Italian artisans and Moroccan musicians.
Imagine what happens when you develop an understanding, passion and commitment to urban studies, multilingualism, environmental sustainability, civil society, art and music.
Imagine the friendships you’ll make, skills you’ll develop, confidence you’ll build, new perspectives you’ll gain and new possibilities in your future.
