Take a gap year, do a Dragons Program!

This program, and all Where There Be Dragons programs, are incredible immersive experiences that support locals, foster reciprocal exchanges of knowledge, customs, and livelihood, and, as a student, help you grow and develop skills that will benefit you in college, the workforce, and life. I am still in touch with my host families, Spanish teachers, and mentors from Guatemala and Mexico. After leaving this program, I felt more mature and prepared to begin college and continue with life after gaining knowledge and wisdom from the people I learned from, including my host moms and host siblings, instructors, mentors, and program peers.
