TORCH flamePass the TORCHTorch Leadership Academy

Hi, I'm Annie Saunders

The goal I set at TORCH

"By January 2026 I will study abroad in London."

Where I am today

It’s been three months since I’ve gotten back from London and I can confidently say that studying abroad was one of the best experiences of my life. I learned so much about the world, people, and myself. I’m already planning my next trip back to the UK!

The impact I want to make

I want to get out of my comfort zone and enjoy a new experience. I want to challenge myself to be content wherever I am in the world.

Help pass the torch

TORCH is free for every student — about $500 sends one Leader through the TORCH program. Public totals stay collective, never by student.
