Ignite

Ignite is an intercultural program that provides American students an opportunity to have a transformative experience by spending time with international families.

Program Goals

The goal of Ignite is to expose American students to foreign traditional customs that families practice. It has been a common activity to host a meal for the American students while the family teaches traditions, customs and protocols.

We want students to gain a greater understanding of another culture so that they can relate and appreciate those who are from other parts of the globe.

Through Ignite students will have a transformative opportunity to learn new aspects of a different culture right here in Oklahoma.
