Community Development Volunteering in Florence, Italy

To put it simply: studying abroad changed my life. The thought of going abroad for the first time can be really scary and intimidating but I promise you it will be worth it. I learned how to appreciate the small moments, connect with the local community, and most importantly I gained a better understanding of who I was as an individual. Studying abroad truly changed my perspective and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to call Florence my home. Through it all SAI remained a helping hand and the moments and memories made in Florence will be cherished forever.

SAI made my abroad experience worthwhile. I had the most amazing time exploring Florence and learning about the Italian culture. SAI provided many resources and experiences to help enhance our experience. They provided hands on support from picking us up from the airport to providing us amazing apartments throughout the city of Florence. Without SAI, my abroad experience wouldn't have been as seamless.
