PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: World Experience is a volunteer network of people around the world that offers teenagers a school attendance and family living experience in a foreign country for a short-term period, a semester, or an academic year. WE volunteers strive to strengthen international links of friendship, support, and understanding among students, families and communities through a guided program of sharing. WE believes that the sensitive awareness of cultural differences, developed when students and families live together, results in mutual respect for each other's culture.
