Participating in ACE in Costa Rica this summer is worth it to me because I feel that it is an amazing opportunity to make a positive impact while also learning about something I hope to pursue in the future. I am so excited about getting to not only learn about methods of environmental conservation but also the value of community engagement in protecting our environment.
