GYV for College Prep
Acceptance standards at colleges and universities are getting higher and higher and teens and parents are seeking creative ways to seek ways to stand out from the crowd.
“…getting into the “right” college has never been more competitive” ~ Boston Globe
The Global Youth Village experience gives college bound teens the opportunities to gain the skills and experiences they need not only to stand out, but to also be successful in the college or university of their choice.
What does GYV offer that university-based programs do not?
- Cooperative living: cabins builds stronger bonds than dorm life
- Academics are great, but developing people skills really prepares your child to take their place in the world
- Project management prepares your child to take leadership in college courses
- Group challenges emphasize social responsibility, independent thinking, and flexibility
