If you don’t already have plans for summer 2018, consider one of our summer volunteer programs abroad.
We’re engaging communities all over the world, including in a couple of new places we’ve never been before!
Truthfully, we’ve got so many new & exciting options for 2018 that we don’t even know where to begin with our travel daydreaming. We’re keeping the same awesome programs we’ve always had, but now we’re offering new service trips for teens, as well as shorter trips for students with busy summers.
Can you say, “Glacier hiking in Iceland”? How about, “Strolling the centuries-old streets of Cordoba, Spain while brushing up on your Spanish speaking skills?” Ok, that last one is a mouthful, but it still sounds pretty sweet. So without further ado, spin the globe and choose your adventure!
