Before and After: How an Immersive Journey Through Costa Rica Changed the Perspectives of the Young Men of The Fellowship Initiative

The TFI Program offers travel opportunities – including international travel. For many of the students, it was their first time leaving the U.S. — and they had high hopes for what they’d gain from the experience.

“At home, I do community service, but it’s kind of cool that you’re doing something for the community that’s not where you live,” TFI Dallas member Fernando shared. “You know you left part of yourself in Costa Rica.”

Read about the experiences of 3 TFI members on this incredible journey.
