    Going on ILP was the best decision I ever made! It was so great that I had to go twice haha. I went…read moreto both India and Costa Rica. Before I left, I was pretty nervous about living in an unfamilair place with a bunch of strangers, but it actually turned out to be exactly what I needed. I met lifelong friends who laughed beside me as we taught our crazy students that I still miss every single day. I also learned how to Bollywood dance which was amazing because I had just graduated from college with a degree in dance. We also got to go on some epic vacations. My favorite places that we went were the Taj Mahal and Machu Picchu. Riding camels through the desert and camping under the stars was a close second though. I always felt super safe and that ILP was doing their best to make sure I was taken care of despite being literal time zones away from me. My only warning is that my group and I would get sick of the food. Especially the rice and beans. It kept us filled, but felt so repetitive that we'd lose our appetites. Luckily, our coordinators were super helpful and helped us communicate with our cooks about how we can make meals more exciting. Oh yeah, and the cold showers were a bit of a shock at first... with that being said, boring food and cold showers was totally worth it in exchange for the memories and friends that I made while I was abroad.

    WARNING!! ILP is not a program you want to send your child on across the world. Do not apply to…read moreILP. My daughter was supposed to be on a program to China for 5 months volunteering/teaching. On her 3rd week she (and her fellow volunteers) were abruptly removed from her school without proper information from anyone at ILP for 4 days. They were told by the coordinator the Chinese government was doing inspections at the school. My daughter & her peers lived in fear after hearing from other volunteers in their same city that were actually detained by the Chinese police on that same day, their passports take and for 3 hours they were questioned under hostile terms. ILP and the Director Jared failed to inform the volunteers or parents and ultimately these volunteers who paid $2500.00 for this program were given 3 options. Not 1 that was feasible, 1 was not even putting the volunteers in a safe environment as it included sending them back to the school to take Chinese classes, but no longer volunteer. The girls felt unsafe returning to the school after the events they just learned about & went through. Jared is a horrible Director. He only cares about the program being promoted & when an actual emergency arises, Jared is incompetent to handle it. There were medical issues with ALL of the volunteers due to unhealthy living situations that ILP puts these volunteers up in. Jared tried to cause panic with the volunteers & parents by instilling fear of infectious disease, but then had no medical information to support his comments. He would throw something out there, but then have nothing to support it. Jared refused to offer even a partial refund to these volunteers who paid $2500.00 for this 5 month program. As a parent, you should be aware of sending your child anywhere around the world with this program and a Director as incompetent as Jared. As I type this review, my daughter is home after 5 weeks due to having the wrong Visa while in China. All the volunteers in my daughters group are home along with the other volunteers at the other school in her city that were detained by the police. Yet, ILP still has volunteers in China and I would have to assume Jared has yet to properly inform those volunteers or their parents about the situation that transpired in southern China. Please BE AWARE OF ILP.

    I would give this company 0 stars if I could. A few of my friends and I 'bought' a complete package…read moreof their speech apps. It seemed like a great deal and an effective product...UNTIL we never received any follow up on the product. Everyone of us were told that we were sent this ghost email that they have record of sending, but yet never ended up in our email boxes. The national sales manager, Reese Hansen, explained that this personally sent email ended up in my junk mail box...funny that none of their spam mail did though. So long story short, our codes expired and we basically paid them for nothing. There's no accountability on their end and there's nothing you, as the customer, can do about it, but kiss your hard earned dollars buh-bye!

    So I never usually write reviews on Yelp; but here it goes. And for the record, Coco L. is a friend…read moreof mine (we bought the package together at a convention earlier this year) and she reminded me today to write a review as we had the same experience. Similar to Coco L.'s experience, I was sent one code for the app which ended up in my Spam folder (which I never saw until later) and then 1 code I never saw. I politely contacted them via email and phone a few weeks later asking if they could send me another one seeing as I never really got them or just refund me. They said that it was too late and could not redeem another set of codes and that I couldn't even get a refund. They also sent me a list of dates they emailed me in which 1 of them was incorrect. I ended up calling my bank to handle this. So unfortunate and unprofessional. I was really looking forward to this product.
