Lopez InstepThe Lopez International Student Travel Education Program (InSTEP) cultivates understanding, enthusiasm and lasting curiosity about other countries and cultures by providing Lopez students with opportunities to travel with teacher-led trips outside the United States. Following generous private contributions to support this travel, a group of teachers and interested community members formed InSTEP (originally known as L.I.F.E. - Lopez Island Foreign Exchange) in 1997 to administer and add to these funds.
