Fantastic experience!

My daughter loved this experience! She made terrific friends, was challenged by educational activities with positive outcomes, toured historic sites, and was well supervised by incredible staff. Her only complaint was that it was too short!

Motivating

I thought that this experience was extremely motivating to me and others that were there. I attended the Youth Leadership forum in October of 2015. It was great getting to listen to the speakers and travel around the capital. I would go again if I could.

Envision

My daughter has went on two Envision trips, one to Washington, D.C. and the current alumni program to Boston. Each time she gone she has learned more than what a year in school could teach her. It's not just about travel and American history but leadership and life goals. They also have a payment plan that works with anyone. I highly recommend the Envision trips to anyone who gets chosen to go. It's a trip the kids won't ever forget.

Highly recommended, as son had an amazingly inspiring experience.

Hands down this experience made a positive outlook for career and college direction for my son. It strengthened his leadership skills, creativity, and independence. My son spoke highly of Olin College. He talked about how much fun he had with the staff as well as a new network of friends nationally and internationally. He was smiling from ear to ear telling us about his positive experience. He enjoyed listening to the guest speakers, touring colleges in Boston, building his knowledge about his career of interest, college dorm life experience, traveling out of state, and touring a new city. It was all very motivating. As a parent, it was a learning experience for me as well. It was a very positive experience. I am so grateful the staff took very good care of my son.

I saw a more matured leader in my child after going through the program.

MY Child a 7th grader attended the Youth leadership program at New York Maritime College and grateful for the content of the course, the teaching program and for the coordination itself. The program had a steep learning curve on my child providing him an opportunity to communicate , lead, follow, plan, coordinate tasks, organize his time and activities and a breakthrough of the exposure of the simulation activities in the program. He has been enrolled for the STEM program coming up this summer and we are eagerly waiting for his participation. Thank you!!
