The Student Travel Experience

Community-driven community service projects are the heart and soul of our programs. We partner with local communities and organizations to make a real impact that lasts long after the trip is over.

We’re doing more than just passing through. We travel with intention, helping students connect to other cultures, build empathy, and form a sense of community.

While service is at the core of our programming, we also prioritize unique adventure activities. Students enjoy life-changing and brag-worthy experiences throughout each trip.

Our Spanish language immersion programs, and French Immersion trips go beyond the textbook and practice real-world language skills with locals, learning the ins and outs of unique cultures and dialects.
