Global Works Summer Program Offerings
CULTURAL EXCHANGE & SERVICE ADVENTURE
Cultural Exchange and Service Adventures offer a blend of community service (estimated 10-15 hours per week), cultural exchange, and adventure activities. While several options exist in Spanish speaking destinations, there are no prior language study requirements and no formal language study involved, we just ask that you come with a willingness to learn and have fun!
SIGN UP →LANGUAGE IMMERSION & SERVICE ADVENTURE
Global Works Language Immersion and Service Adventures include the community service, cultural exchange, and adventure activities,with an added language focus. Participants engage their language skills each day through our experiential education curriculum and, in most programs, an 8-12 day homestay experience. Global Works Language Immersion Programs offer students the opportunity to improve Spanish, Mandarin, and French language skills while engaging in service work and cultural activities.
SIGN UP →FOCUS & SERVICE ADVENTURE
Global Works Focus and Service Adventures include the core principles of community service, cultural exchange, and adventure activities with an added focus such as soccer, surfing, science, or photography. On a Focus program, participants engage in interactive and intensive skill building workshops led by professionals in the field.
PROGRAM BENEFITS
Summer Service Programs are a wonderful way to make new friends that will last a lifetime while earning documented community service hours, expanding your world view, building leadership skills, and improving your second language skills. Each Summer Service Adventure program travels to 3-5 different regions of one or two countries in order to gain a sense of appreciation for the diversity and spirit of the country and the people you meet.
WHY A SERVICE ADVENTURE PROGRAM INSTEAD OF A TRAVEL TOUR GROUP?
Deciding on a Summer Service Adventure means extraordinary travel to amazing parts of the world, exploring new cultures and having a positive impact on communities. Many of our Sumer Service Travel Program participants tell us it’s a life changing experience to see the impact of their service work. What price is there for a perspective of the world outside your own?
WHICH TYPE OF SUMMER SERVICE ADVENTURE TRIP IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
While all of our trips involve community service, cultural exchange, and adventure travel, Global Works Summer Service Adventures can be further categorized into three types of trips: Cultural Exchange, Language Immersion, and Focus trips.
