A Service-Learning Adventure in Ireland
by: Sophia Wood - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Galway, IrelandIn the summer of 2023, I landed in Galway, Ireland to work with Galway Autism Partnership (GAP). What followed was two months of exploring Ireland’s culture, creating deep friendships, and bonding with Galway’s Autistic community. As club facilitators, my fellow ISA volunteers and I helped improve the quality and quantity of GAP's clubs and events. Galway Autism Partnership was able to execute a record 20+ camps in just over 6 weeks, attended by 120+ different participants with our assistance. C...

by: Greg O’Connell - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Galway, IrelandUnbelievable experience! Would do anything to go back. Galway is such a great city and there is no shortage of fun to be had. The university staff and study abroad staff are extremely welcoming and I couldn’t have asked for a better time.
ISA Galway Service Learning
by: Thomas Ward - United StatesProgram: ISA Study Abroad in Galway, IrelandI had a great experience with ISA in Galway! I participated in their service-learning program, where, instead of taking an academic course with a university, I interned with a local community radio station. There, I gained a lot of valuable experience working in radio, and I met a lot of incredible people! The program is structured amazingly, and places an emphasis on cultural knowledge and the overall impact of study abroad programs. I learned a lot from my coworkers about wider contemporary Ir...

Participated in 2013
Growing up, my mom always told me about her study abroad experience in Florence, Italy while she was in college. She described it as one of the best experiences of her life. Contrarily, my Dad talked about how he wished he had studied abroad. With these influences, it became a dream of mine to spend a semester in a foreign country. I would not call myself an adventurous person; I like my comfort zone quite a lot. However, I often find that my best experiences are when I push myself to go outside my comfort zone and explore something new. Studying abroad, especially with ISA, was the perfect way for me to do this, and it was the best decision I ever made.
