This program was carefully designed to motivate students to become active members of the global society we are creating. Tomorrow People is a non-profit organization and we hope you will find our program exciting, rewarding and life-changing. With this in mind, we look for students with an insatiable desire to learn, motivate, and potentially change the world one step at a time. Students will have a great opportunity to build lasting networks with unique individuals since the students selected for our program will usually fit into most of these categories:

Future leaders. Individuals who want to make a difference in this world. We believe that cultural awareness is one of the most important steps towards creating ethically responsible global citizens and future leaders. You do not need to have years of leadership experience but you do need to have a desire to learn— about yourself, other cultures, and ways to improve your community.

People who want to take a chance. Experiencing another culture can be an adventure. It will challenge how you view yourself and the world around you. This program is for people who want to open their minds to new ways of thinking and are flexible and daring enough to take the necessary steps to doing so.

People who want to make new friends. The program is open to enthusiastic people from around the world. Without a doubt you will make lasting relationships that will shape you as an individual in unimaginable ways.

People who want to have fun. Argentina is famous for its unique culture. Buenos Aires offers a wide range of activities to do during the day and night. The biggest problem you’ll encounter is deciding what to do first and how to fit everything in!

Testimonials from previous participants:

I really enjoyed the cultural experiences in Buenos Aires. The program gave us many opportunities to see different perspectives of the culture in and outside of Buenos Aires and Argentina. As I transition into my cultural anthropology graduate program, I am able to draw from my experiences in the courses and activities to refine my interests in Latin American studies. However, the courses and activities have also given me a number of ideas and interests I would love to explore further in the future.

I really loved that the program brought together so many people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and beliefs. This forced us to break outside of our own comfort zones to get to know each other better, allowing us to forge stronger bonds and friendships. There were always so many opportunities to dialogue because there were so many differences between us. I loved it!

One of the things I am most grateful for is that I left the program with contacts to use for future study interests and, most importantly, new friends.

What I enjoyed about the program was getting to meet not only people from other regions of my own country, but also many from all over the world added a great dynamic to every step in the program. We each saw issues quite differently, and what made an impact on me was when we agreed on other issues. Getting to learn about different parts of your own country and of the world through the eyes of your classmates is a great privilege and very insightful.

When it came to the courses we took and since I’ve returned to my home university, the words and opinions of our professors still come to mind each day. Right now, we are studying dictatorships in Latin America during the 1970's, and still I can hear Gustavo's words about Pinochet. His own memories impacted all of us. What was an eye opener for me when I got home, was the simple fact that we weren’t affected up here in Montana. We can read about these wretched genocides all over the world and not understand a bit. This man that was teaching us had been in the military in Argentina and had witnessed such atrocities. His memories and statements were first hand accounts.
