Empowering Students to Create Lasting Change
Abroad for Impact partners with faculty to design short-term, faculty-led study abroad programs that immerse students in international best practice — covering areas such as social innovation, education, health, sustainability, and more.
Our Vision
At Abroad for Impact, we believe study abroad is a catalyst — transforming the way students see the world and their role within it. Through immersive experiences with world-class societal solutions — such as sustainable community development in Costa Rica, innovative early childhood education in Finland, and economic empowerment in Sweden — students gain fresh perspectives, broaden their vision, and strengthen their sense of purpose.
Students return home inspired, equipped, and motivated to spark meaningful change in their own lives and communities.

"Emory & Henry has worked with Arno Langevoort & Abroad for Impact for over 10 years. From the planning process onward, Arno listens carefully to our objectives and hand‑crafts itineraries to meet them. Our university requires programs with the educational component at the center, combined with meaningful historical and cultural site visits.
Abroad for Impact has consistently designed programs that prioritize student learning, cultural immersion, and community engagement. They have visited our campus multiple times to understand our faculty and students. Because Abroad for Impact is a small organization, they respond quickly to students' needs at every stage. We highly recommend them for developing faculty‑led study abroad experiences."
