Groups
Over the past 75 years, more than 70,000 Experimenters have challenged themselves to become immersed in different cultures, learn and practice foreign language skills, break stereotypes, reduce xenophobia, and celebrate the diversity of life.
Experimenters come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. They come from small towns and large cities, urban and rural areas, and public and private schools. The Experiment seeks to engage students from different races, religions, sexual orientations, physical abilities, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Our dynamic groups foster an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, learning, and growth. While host families abroad get a feel for the heterogeneity of America's communities, participants learn an incredible amount about the diversity within their own country. Interestingly, many students learn as much about the United States as they do about the country they are visiting.
All Experiment programs challenge participants and hosts world-wide to acknowledge their own prejudices and fight intolerance by promoting community action and engaging young people directly in cultures different than their own.
Due to the generosity of Experiment alumni and friends, we offer one of the strongest and most thoughtful financial aid and scholarship programs in the field of adolescent cross-cultural programs.
