You’re likely not the only one! The Head Teacher in your group will have lived abroad with ILP previously, but we’ve seen a wide range of experiences when it comes to our first-time volunteers (some have traveled, others haven’t). Your semester abroad will be an adventure, whether or not you have experience outside of the country … plus, you have many people to support you.

We believe that this experience is a great way to travel for the first time because you can rely on your group and others associated with ILP instead of trying to go it alone. ILP has also put together many tips and resources to help prepare our volunteers — check a few of those on the ILP Blog.
