CHI Summer Abroad

About
At CHI, we aim to create a passionate group of informed high school students who can bring back to Sonoma County the knowledge of the world they gain and share their experiences with other local students now and with others they meet throughout their lives. It is our goal to build a unique program that can foster a community of returned CHI interns who not only better appreciate and value education, but have a broadened mindset they can use to help develop exciting new ways to tackle poverty here in Sonoma County and around the world.
Upon return home, participants will be offered an important program of meetings and activities over a two-week period. This is an opportunity to come together and talk about their experiences both in Kenya and back in Sonoma County (where they may experience “reverse culture shock”). Meetings will take place three times each week and once during the (middle) weekend. Parents will be encouraged to attend the final meeting.
