Hi, We're ILP!
… that’s short for International Language Programs. We set up 3-4 month trips for college-age adults to travel + volunteer all over the world. We’re passionate that this experience is not only meaningful for you, but that it also leaves a positive impact on the communities you’re living in. It’s adventurous, challenging, and the kind of thing you’ll never forget.

Volunteer Experiences
So many volunteers come home saying they signed up for the travel, but their time volunteering and the people they met are the things that meant the most.

Every single day that goes by, I realize more and more how grateful I am to be here … I’m so proud of myself for making my dreams come true.
I somehow found myself backpacking across volcanoes in Nicaragua this past weekend…life can’t get much better than this. I’m high on life over here!
Forever grateful for my 3 months in Costa Rica. One of the hardest but most rewarding things I’ve ever done. So grateful for the people I met, things I did, and places I saw. I will never forget this experience.
If I’m being honest, about 95% of me signed up to travel and live in Thailand and about 5% of me actually wanted to teach the kids … I never realized how much I would end up loving these kids.
One of the biggest reasons I wanted to do ILP was to meet new people and understand another culture better. I’m getting that and so much more here in Mexico.
My experiences here have been so eye-opening.
When I first got here, I struggled with teaching! It is so so different here than it is in America and it was difficult to adjust to teaching kids a new language anyway. But I have grown to love my sweet students with my whole heart.
thailand – the hardest but greatest thing I have ever done, with the best group
These kids have had more of an impact on my life than I could have ever imagined. I’ll forever be grateful for my time as “teacha Bekah”.
It’s A Great Fit For Students
You don’t need to be a student to volunteer, but if you are, an ILP trip is a great supplement to your education (kind of like a semester abroad).
