Each year we select a small cohort of rising high-school juniors and seniors from across the United States to participate in an 8-week summer program that includes a scholarship for international travel (in previous years we have worked with Walking Tree Travel and Where There Be Dragons),
and an online pre-departure and re-entry curriculum.
Our curriculum is designed to help Wandering Scholars develop intercultural-communication skills, leverage social media in a professional capacity, and - as a capstone to their participation - produce digital documentation projects to share with their home and virtual communities.
“TWS changed my life by allowing me to see the world in an entirely new perspective by traveling to Peru. I will never forget how I felt flying across oceans, and living with my family in Ollanta."
-Jonathan, Peru (2012)
