About Program
Settle into the village life of Patate, a charming town in the foothills of the Ecuadorian Andes near the still-active Tungurahua volcano. Work on school and public infrastructure projects, take mountain hikes and make tamales—all while improving Spanish language skills. Round out the journey with three days in the legendary Galapagos Islands, swimming with sea lions, snorkeling at reefs and doing conservation work in the National Park.

Impact 🌎
Sustainability
In addition to high-impact social service and construction projects, VISIONS continues to expand our environmental commitment with projects rooted in sustainability and connection to the land. VISIONS aims to have no more than 25% meat & dairy sourced from factory farms by 2026.
Ethical Impact
VISIONS builds communities of teens, leaders and local people who support each other while working toward shared goals on projects that our host community has requested. We have worked in our host communities for two to three decades and teens are welcomed like family.
