GATE (Global Awareness Through Experience)

GATE offers cultural immersion programs and pilgrimage opportunities in Latin America and Europe.

Our mission is to create an awareness of other cultures and their realities

through people-to-people connections.

We offer the opportunity to learn from the poor, as well as, from social

analysts, teachers, theologians and economists. The program connects

participants with marginalized who, despite struggle, find hope in their reality.

"Our destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things"

--Henry Miller
