“At times, I questioned my character and ability as a leader. However, this experience in Africa opened my eyes and changed my thoughts about who I am, how fortunate I am, and what I am capable of... I am now determined to work hard and take full advantage of the opportunities I am given.”
- Josh Lee, Brooks School, Yale University, Ivy Leader ’09

“I can't thank you enough for this past summer. I made academic honors this fall, which I have never done before, and I completely believe that it was from your program. This honestly was a life-changing experience for me.”
- Lion Creel, Salisbury School, Ivy Leader ’11

“Ryan has an outstanding sense of the students' needs and is intuitive about each student's potential. This trip provided infinite learning opportunities for both our sons on a personal level, as a leader, and as a citizen of the global community. I encourage any family who is considering this unique opportunity to embrace this incredible gift for your teenager.”
- Mark & Hilary Brennan, parents of Alex, Ivy Leader ’10 and Cole, Ivy Leader ’11

"The Ivy Leader program was a very powerful and valuable experience for our daughter. It enabled her to challenge herself and go outside of her comfort areas many times. She overcame homesickness and learned strategies for helping her when she's feeling worried or sad. She also learned so much about the world around her. She was profoundly impacted by the poverty and people she met in South Africa and her experiences have changed the way in which she looks at the world. Overall, she came back a much stronger young woman - one who is more knowledgeable about world issues, confident in herself, and more sure of what she can and will achieve. I would recommend this program very highly to every high school student interested in doing a summer program abroad."
- Janell Henke, mother of Kenzie, Ivy Leader ’12

“I've watched Ivy Leader grow from an idea in Ryan's mind to the remarkable program it is now, and I can see that its success is due to his brand of leadership. Deeply devoted to the students he mentors as well as to the areas of South Africa he has come to know, he models the Ivy Leader ethic. Ryan believes that true leaders challenge themselves, support each other, and commit themselves to the places, communities and cultures they interact with. This is the admirable path he has walked; it's the one Ivy Leader follows.”
- Terry Osborne, Senior Lecturer, Environmental Studies Program, Dartmouth College

"I think the most profound way in which Ivy Leader impacted me professionally was through exposure to students outside of the classroom setting. I enjoyed teaching them how to make meals and teaching them South African liberation songs. A trip like Ivy Leader allowed me to refresh and reaffirm the faith I have in the ability of students to be guided into exceptional human beings. Our drives through South Africa and nights playing card games allowed time for meaningful conversations as students tried to figure out how they can make a positive contribution to the world in their careers."
- Francis Chapuredima, Ivy Leader assistant trip leader and teacher, Holderness School and Qatar Leadership Academy
