— Lida Castro

Director of Cross-Cultural Experiential Learning, The Pennington School

"Vervet has been a powerful for us. I can see everything that is going on, and more than that, you have a company that is behind you every step of the way."

— Cate Woodward

Assistant Director or Auxiliary Programs, Sidwell Friends School

“I’ve used several softwares with my role, but having a software specifically for trips created by two people who were very experienced in that realm has made my work so much easier”

—Ali Bugg

Formerly Operations Manager, Cape Henry Collegiate Global Program

“Vervet made everything easier for everyone. I didn’t have to chase people down with the automatic reminders. Parents didn’t have to call me to find out what was missing. They could log into the portal themselves. Chaperones didn’t have to go through 17 sets of forms in a folder, instead they’d click a button on their app and got the full picture of every student.”
