Summer certainly seems far away, but the Teenager Program Department here at AmeriSpan is in full swing preparing and booking teens to travel abroad this summer. As the Director of our Teenager programs, the number one questioned asked by parents is: what if something goes wrong?
In the event of an emergency AmeriSpan will do everything we can within our realm of expertise and position to assist in time of crisis or conflict. Our aim is to provide a quality, fun, supervised, international education experience, and maintain as best as possible the safety and well being of all students. We have several support services in place, for example, our emergency message service (24-7), in-country emergency contacts, BETA travel assistance program (includes medical evacuation, lost/stolen passport assistance)
Over the years we have had a very low rate of incidents. If students adhere to all of program guidelines and use common sense they should be fine. However, that being said, there are inherent risks in any kind of travel and we cannot account for everything. We, along with our educational partners, will attempt to minimize these risks in every possible way.
