About Program

On this program, travel to a side of Hawaii few will ever experience: the US's 50th state isn't all high-rise hotels and souvenir shops. Collaborate with your peers and local organizations to help address Maui's ever-evolving needs, from environmental initiatives to fire recovery projects to community outreach.

Spend 10 days this summer in a camp-like, oceanfront setting, getting to know Maui (and yourself!) through leadership workshops, guest speakers and hands-on learning activities. You'll explore the island from the waves of the Pacific to its highest point. Take in all the natural beauty and cultural wisdom of the island as you work to make a difference.

Wonderful Experience!

My 16-year-old son recently completed GLA's service travel program to Hawaii, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The GLA website provided very thorough and clear information leading up to the trip. When we did have questions, the GLA staff was responsive and knowledgeable. During the trip, my son enjoyed the service and travel activities out in the community as well as the social interaction with the leaders and other teens on the trip. As a parent, I truly appreciated the student-written blog updates which allowed those of us at home to read about and see pictures of the daily activities. When my son came home, he could not stop talking about all of the experiences he had with a wonderful group of people. He made forever memories and experienced growth while he was away. I would highly recommend this program to others!

Pros
  • perfect balance of service and leisure activities
  • wonderful leaders & peers on the trip
  • opportunities for personal growth
