"Just wanted to share our experience with DIGIVATIONS as our son was able to join for the January Yale Model UN session.  Patrick did not have previous MUN experience but had always wanted to attend.  Anne, Steve and Jacob were so supportive and able to prepare him in a short time.  Their insights, deep experience, and valued connections created a great learning experience.  Patrick learned valuable lessons on communication and teamwork.  Additionally, he made connections and friends across the US and globe.  We are very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with DIGIVATIONS and recommend for anyone who might be interested in expanding their extra curricular activities."
