LPI Global Impact Skills Assessment

Welcome to the LPI Global Impact Skills Assessment online form! LPI Global Impact programs place students in exciting environments where their abilities are tested. Throughout the program, participants will face situations that will be challenging - both physically and emotionally. These programs will put students face to face with the realities of their host city while helping them grow personally through serving local communities. The information provided in this skills assessment will be used during the application review process to determine student eligibility. In addition, the information will be considered during the development of the group's volunteer service project(s). Please answer these questions as honestly as possible.

LPI cannot guarantee service projects with organizations where the specific skills of each student are utilized. In all situations students must exhibit flexibility, maturity, a strong work ethic, adaptability, and motivation. Furthermore, it is vital that participants and parents recognize that the service projects are designed to serve the interests of others, not the interests of the students.

All students applying for Spring Break Global Impact programs must have at least one year of high school-level Spanish or the equivalent. Students applying for Summer (month-long) Global Impact programs must have at least two years of high school-level Spanish or the equivalent. All LPI Global Impact students must be at least 15 years of age and must demonstrate an acceptable overall academic record (minimum 3.0 GPA preferred).
