Description

The Supported Internships program is a simple, inexpensive and creative way of learning for anyone who would like to enhance their connection to the world and themselves. It is a way of learning what you want to know that puts YOU and your unique life path at the center of your education - where the context for learning is your inner journey and life purpose in a learning environment of YOUR choice.

Highlights

* Go anywhere in the world
* Design your own experience
* Group retreats to frame the internship
* Independent journey of a lifetime
* Enjoy a traveling community
* Optional college credit

A Supported Internship gives a personal growth context to your self-designed experiential semester with a pre- and post-internship retreat. The retreats give you time and guidance to orient yourself fully to independent travel and your internship, then time to learn from the experience, then integrate it into your life or course of study.
