Start Planning Your ImpactAbroad for Impact designs short-term, faculty-led study abroad programs that immerse students in international best practices in social innovation, education, health, economic opportunity, and sustainability.
At Abroad for Impact, we believe true global citizenship means taking what students learn abroad and applying it directly to the challenges and opportunities at home. Our programs expose students to world-class societal solutions—such as sustainable community development in Costa Rica, innovative early childhood education in Finland, and economic empowerment in Sweden—empowering them to become informed leaders in their local communities and professional fields.
Students return home inspired, equipped, and motivated to create meaningful change in their own communities.
