My Nonprofit Reviews

I was fortunate enough to be able to work with Vida twice so far in my undergraduate career. I loved the trip and staff so much my first trip, I decided to come back and bring 27 of my other friends from my school! The staff really care about your learning and are dedicated to making a difference in the world by education and work.

I travelled as an undergraduate student to Costa Rica with Vida as part of the Veterinary Medicine Program. The staff were so nice and helpful to me as not only a first-generation college student knowing nothing about study abroad, but also as a young girl who had not been outside of her home country before. Once in Costa Rica, the staff was always there to answer questions and help really immerse myself and the rest of the students into the culture we now were apart of. They were the backbone that made the experience one that I will never forget. We received so much hands on experience that benefited our futures, but the impact we left on the communities we helped is what really mattered in the end. This trip gave me memories that will last me a lifetime and I hope to travel again with Vida in one of their sister countries in the near future as a campus coordinator for my home university.
