IV Next

REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN FOR IV SUMMER 2025!

Don’t miss your chance to experience this incredible adventure!

IV Next is for participants who have completed one year of college or vocational school and up to 25 years old. IV Next 2025 will be June 2nd - June 13th.

While numerous colleges and universities offer study abroad programs in Greece, and our diaspora offers similar opportunities for young adults to explore this beautiful country, IV Next stands out as the sole travel-based program for young adults that places our Greek Orthodox faith at its very core. IV Next uniquely combines professional development, international travel, and the Orthodox Faith into a comprehensive and enriching experience.

Through an engaging schedule that includes churches and monasteries, interactions with professionals spanning various industries, and explorations of museums and archaeological sites, IV Next participants will gain an intimate understanding of Greece, its culture, and its people.

Join IV Next to embark on a transformative journey that blends personal growth, international exploration, and a deep connection to our Orthodox heritage. The cost of IV Next is $3,500.

Registration will open on Tuesday, February 4th at 11 am ET!
