Student Trips are designed for college students interested in international service-learning experiences that will expand their global perspective and enhance cultural sensitivity. Depending on your specific field of interest, trips can have an emphasis in language studies, community development, cultural or anthropological studies but the most common format for student trips is a combination of each of these. Students can expect that there will be a high relational element, a service project, a practicum, cultural immersion (foods, places, people), processing and debriefing as well as personal reflection time. We work close with universities to provide the most comprehensive and impactful experience possible.
