Many highlight the excellent organization of programs and activities, providing meaningful project involvement, cultural education, and opportunities to explore new places. The welcoming and kind host families also significantly contributed to a comfortable and enriching stay for participants.

The first overseas extracurricular activity

This was the first overseas extracurricular activity that my son researched on his own and said he wanted to challenge himself by participating in. At the time, Cambodia was experiencing political instability, so I hesitated to send my son there alone. However, thanks to the support of everyone at your company, he was able to gain valuable experience that will be helpful in considering his future path.
Being able to work in a developing country together with members of different nationalities also deepened his understanding of multicultural coexistence. Since returning home, I truly feel that my son has grown compared to before he joined the project.
Once again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review, Mr. Naoki.

We are honored that Sora chose our medical internship in Cambodia as his first solo overseas challenge! It is wonderful to hear that the support he received allowed him to gain such valuable experience. We are particularly glad that working alongside international teammates helped deepen his understanding of multicultural coexistence, a skill that will surely serve him well in his future. Learning about the growth in Sora since his return is the greatest reward for us.

Thank you for trusting us with his journey!

Tanzania at its best

My 16-year-old daughter had a wonderful and eventful time in Tanzania. She got to see so much, benefited from the rich culture and had the chance to interact daily with peers her own age. She felt well looked after and supported throughout her stay. Even now, a year after her trip, she still speaks very highly of her experience with Project Abroad.

Thank you, Mirjana, for your lovely feedback about Lynn’s Medical Internship in Tanzania with Projects Abroad.

We’re so happy to hear that Lynn had such a wonderful and enriching experience, from discovering the culture and local community to building friendships with other teens from around the world. It’s especially rewarding to know that she felt well supported and cared for throughout her stay.

The fact that she still speaks so highly of her experience a year later truly means a lot to us. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope Lynn continues to cherish the memories from her time in Tanzania.

Life changing tour…

My son did the marine conservation tour in Thailand for 2 weeks over July. It was life changing. He has the most incredible experience not only with the diving and conservation work but meeting like-minded young people from all around the world many of whom he is still in contact with. Projects Abroad did an excellent job with the communication and planning of the trip and I felt very comfortable that all the kids were in good hands on the trip. Thank you.

Hi Jackie,

Thank you so much for sharing Thomas’s experience! We are delighted to hear that his two weeks in Thailand were truly life-changing.

It’s wonderful that he not only contributed to vital marine conservation but also built lasting global friendships along the way. Knowing he felt empowered and you felt at ease with the planning means the world to us. We can’t wait to see where his passion for the ocean takes him next!

Very impressed

I found projects abroad to be very a professional and trustworthy company. My son had an issue with his luggage and staff were straight onto it and helped him get it all sorted. There was ALWAYS someone with the kids and they made sure they were comfortable. You are always able to contact them should you have any concerns. I was very happy with their services across the board, so much so that my son is travelling with them again this year.

The Galápagos conservation project was a unique and rewarding experience, giving me a strong sense of purpose by contributing, even in a small way, to protecting our planet.

The organization of the project was very good, including the support from the Destination expert from the moment of expressing interest through arrival at the destination and throughout the project implementation. Receiving timely and precise information on all questions before arrival — such as accommodation, weather conditions, and other details — was very important for me.
This strong support was one of the decisive factors in my final decision to apply for the project, but also to organize myself in efficient way, minimizing the risk to overlook something important.
Furthermore, the good organization and support at the destination allowed me to fully participate in project activities without having to worry about logistical matters.
Finally, it was possible to combine scheduled project activities with private activities during free time in a meaningful and well-balanced way.

Chitwan National Park

My son and I took a holiday and volunteered at the Chitwan National Park, Nepal which was a wonderful experience. Projects Abroad were brilliant. Their communication, planning and organising were fantastic, from the start of our inquiry into booking, our arrival at the airport in Nepal, to our departure. Our assigned guides even assisted us with ideas and bookings for our weekends when we were not volunteering. I would highly recommend Projects Abroad if you are looking for a holiday or experience abroad. We look forward to our next experience with Projects Abroad in the future.

Peruvian Adventure!

My 16-year-old son went to Peru for four weeks with Projects Abroad. I was nervous to let him go but he was taken care of every step of the way. His host family was very kind and helpful and the Projects Abroad staff did an amazing job. He got to serve in the community and experience a lot of fun things too. I would happily recommend Projects Abroad to anyone!

Dear Jessica,

Thank you so much for your kind words! We completely understand the nerves that come with sending a 16-year-old across the world, so it is incredibly rewarding to hear that you felt supported every step of the way. We are thrilled that Hudson had such a meaningful time serving the community and that he bonded so well with his host family. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see Hudson on another project in the future!

Unbelievably well organized trips for (mature) teens

Unbelievably well organized trips for (mature) teens. Our daughter traveled with Projects Abroad two summers in a row (South America, Asia). Projects Abroad kept us well informed, and we knew her to be well-supported in the field. The experiences were truly life-changing.

Great learning experience

My 16-year old learned a lot during her volunteering in Kenya. More than she ever would at school or in her own "rich" environment. Projects abroad is a very good organization to thrust my child to.

My son's experience with Projects Abroad exceeded our expectations

My son's experience with Projects Abroad exceeded our expectations. He attended the Medical Internship for Teens in Cusco, Peru, last summer. In the research phase of looking for a summer program, I found the representatives at Projects Abroad to be extraordinarily helpful with answering all of my nit-picky questions about the experience. They were thoughtful, patient, clear communicators. After registering my son, we were guided through the process of preparing for his trip, using the online portal (which provides a lot of detailed information) and communicating with representatives via phone calls and emails. We were well taken care of throughout. My son came back from the Peru with a multitude of stories that he still shares today. He spoke Spanish a ton. He gained a great deal of knowledge from the different workshops and clinics, positively influencing his interest in the medical world. He liked his host mother, who was very enthusiastic and friendly. He relished the new experiences and couldn't get enough of them--with Machu Picchu being a major highlight of the trip. He liked the other teens on the program, who came from other parts of the U.S. He loved it so much that we are sending him on another Projects Abroad program this summer--to the Philippines!
