Our 2002 programs will be very similar so please visit our site December 2001 for the updates. We create service- learning experiences for American high school students. Our teams of 12 students and 2 leaders work with local nonprofit organizations and the host community to implement community-designed projects. These projects have long lasting benefits for the community as well as for our students. Guided by experienced staff these discussions allow students to generate new sets of values and attitudes.
Students have breakthroughs in global awareness, cultural sensitivity and in their sense of self.
They develop a new ethic of community service and involvement. Students enhance their individual and group communication skills. They acquire new levels of knowledge and skills to be community leaders. These breakthroughs empower students to return home to create positive differences in their own communities. What We Do We offer a variety of four to six week international service trips to Latin America, Asia, and Africa, as well as domestic trips to Native American Reservations.
