Great experience

My teen had a great experience at Envision. He is introverted so was nervous about going. He ended up having the time of his life. This was a huge confidence builder for him.

Highly recommended, as son had an amazingly inspiring experience.

Hands down this experience made a positive outlook for career and college direction for my son. It strengthened his leadership skills, creativity, and independence. My son spoke highly of Olin College. He talked about how much fun he had with the staff as well as a new network of friends nationally and internationally. He was smiling from ear to ear telling us about his positive experience. He enjoyed listening to the guest speakers, touring colleges in Boston, building his knowledge about his career of interest, college dorm life experience, traveling out of state, and touring a new city. It was all very motivating. As a parent, it was a learning experience for me as well. It was a very positive experience. I am so grateful the staff took very good care of my son.

A great program!

My son had a wonderful experience at his Envision experience. I was hesitant to send him somewhere without one of his parents being there for six days, but I honestly did not worry about him much while he was gone. Envision was very communicative and gave me text updates and e-mails daily, sometimes several times a day. I had to call to leave a message one day and the lady who answered the telephone was really helpful. I felt like he was being taken care of and I am glad we chose to send him. He learned so much from his experiences and from his advisors there that he will be able to use in the future.

Envision was an unforgettable experience. You learn everything from independence to suturing to making new friends. I walked in knowing no one and walked out with 20 friends who still stay in touch a year later. I never wanted to go home.

NYLF: Medicine Review for future parents

My teenager attended the Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine program. He was honored to be selected for this prestigious experience. The program advisors were informative, pleasant and catered to my son's interests. The event was 10 days. He traveled independently to Washington DC where he was greeted by the Envisions staff and safely transported to the Maryland campus. The program curriculum was fully loaded with lectures, medical experiences, mentors who advised them and took them on a tour of the city. Each day I was informed of his agenda by email and text. My son was roomed with another student who supported him and they enjoyed the day's activities with many other students. When I spoke with my son after each evening, he responded with excitement, new experiences and friendships. As a parent, I would highly recommend this program to anyone's high schooler who is looking to enrich their learning and future leadership. Kudos to the who Envision team!
