Participation in volunteer or internship opportunities abroad is an excellent way to immerse oneself in another country's way of life. At the same time ELAP participants address the needs of a community abroad, while applying the lessons from the experience to their own personal growth. Experiential learning adds another dimension to the study abroad experience through daily interactions, resulting in a greater understanding of the language, culture, and community of the host country.

Participants develop skills, considered valuable to potential employers, such as problem solving, appreciation for community and diversity, the ability to cooperate and collaborate in an international setting, and a more intimate understanding of global issues.
