Webinar: Preparing for the Family Sabbatical

Like many middle class American families who dream of a year abroad, the Wagner family had no idea how to make it happen. Now, with an incredibly fantastic sabbatical year behind them, they celebrate the fate, faith and empowerment that unpacked their family sojourn abroad more beautifully than they could have ever imagined. In this webinar, Carrie Wagner will provide tips on how to plan a family sabbatical based on her family’s personal experiences including schooling for kids, deciding where to travel, finding accommodation, immersion, language study, budgeting, health and more! Join us to hear strategies for navigating a family sabbatical and you’ll leave inspired to craft your own.
