Service Learning programs

Immersive programs + meaningful service projects 

On a Service Learning program, you and your students work side by side with locals on community-driven projects in the Dominican Republic and Peru. We partner with established non-profits and NGOs—like the Mariposa Foundation and Project for Life—to make sure your contributions are both meaningful and sustainable. Through hands-on work and deep exposure to the local culture, students learn vital collaboration and problem-solving skills. And, they return home inspired to make a difference. 


What to expect on a Service Learning program

Each service project helps deepen your students’ understanding of other cultures, develop new perspectives on local issues and strengthen leadership skills necessary for true global citizenship, through:

  • Meaningful Service

    Working side by side with locals, you’ll gain insight into the challenges they face and build lasting solutions to help empower the community.

  • Cultural Immersion

    Live in the communities you serve—celebrating indigenous customs and forming lasting connections with locals.

  • Leadership Development

    Your Field Director takes your service experience even further, strengthening leadership skills through activities and workshops.
