Ideally, all American students would have a mandatory two-week exchange program across the country. A new region, with new customs will force a new perspective. New perspectives are the seeds of empathy.
To begin, we start on a smaller-scale. Students apply and are matched with a region, family, and community that is different from there own. The students exchange for two weeks and are challenged to adapt, to learn, and to reflect.
