All students are invited to apply – undergraduate or graduate, domestic or international, and from any major or area of study.
Student teams will travel to the following locations to serve within communities, May 22-June 22, 2025:
Guatemala
In Panajachel, Guatemala, students partner with an organization called Tejiendo Futuros.
Tejiendo Futuros leads in the development of conscious change agents by focusing on co-creating resilient, sustainable communities with a focus on peace.
Students could be working with children, family services, or the local sustainable agricultural system. Basic conversational Spanish is highly encouraged for participants.
South Africa
In Ocean View, South Africa, students partner with an organization called Volunteer Mzansi.
Volunteer Mzansi facilitates an international volunteer program to support the sustainability of various projects in under-resourced communities in Cape Town to benefit communities within South Africa. Each team member is placed on a different project based on their personal interest and experience in Ocean View and lives with a host family in the community.
Service ranges from assisting in classrooms to working alongside health professionals and community centers.
