We’re serious about community! We know finances vary, and professional opportunities are expensive. We operate a “pay what you can” (PWYC) policy for our events, so we are always financially accessible.
We give to the causes that matter. Ten percent of program registration fees on some URep Abroad programs have gone to a great cause! URep Abroad has donated to post bail/bond for immigration detention centers and increased access to COVID-19 vaccines for low- and middle-income economies.

Safety vs. Comfort: The pandemic has impacted our ability to explore outside our safety zones due to decreased in-person interactions. Continue to seek opportunities to challenge your assumptions and thinking.
Stimulus Value: We all make assumptions about others when we first meet, and our beliefs are based on many life factors. Recognizing and accepting we are all raised in a stigmatized society is a step forward to a compassionate dialogue.
