Why you should choose EPI:
- Real science, real conservation: On-course with EPI you become the researcher responsible for helping protect endangered species and ecosystems.

- Service-learning: You’ll participate in meaningful projects and be eligible to get credit from your school or university – all while enjoying the adventure of a lifetime. Learn more at our Service-Learning page
- Develop new skills: We learn best by doing and after returning home from a course with EPI you’ll be more confident and out-going, and you’ll also have lots of new skills in science, language, and teamwork.
- Your future: International travel and volunteer research experience will help set you apart from the crowd on future college and job applications. How many students can say they did research for the Galapagos National Park or the US Forest Service?
- Begin building your network: Developing relationships with our instructors, research partners, and other participants will increase the number of people who can lend you a helping hand in the future when you are looking for a job or even just looking for advice on your next international journey.
