Studying abroad is often described as a journey of discovery: new places, new perspectives, and new connections. For students in studying abroad in our spring 2026 programs, that journey also included a deeper commitment to engaging with local communities. Through CIEE’s Community Impact Initiative, 400+ students stepped beyond the classroom to contribute to projects in their host city during the spring 2026 semester, rooted in:   Food Security (53 organizations) Community Development + Public Health (55 organizations) Youth Development + Education (55 organizations)   Learn more about these transformational experiences at our link in bio!    #ciee #cieestudyabroad #studyabroad #cieeinnovativeprograms #CIEECommunityImpactInitiative
