Tanzania: Heart & Soul of Kilimanjaro Program for Teens
- Tanzania
About Program
The magic and beauty of East Africa awaits! Work alongside one of GLA's most longstanding partners and spend two or three weeks volunteering on education initiatives in a Tanzanian public school, where infrastructure and classroom instruction are in need of critical support. Create and deliver a lesson plan, make repairs to facilities, and spend time getting to know your eager pupils.
Tanzania is absolutely teeming with opportunities to explore something new: Go on safari to spot African animals in their natural habitat; hike to majestic mountain waterfalls; get hands-on with art and music workshops. Learn about Tanzania's fascinating history--and yourself--through guest speakers, leadership seminars and activities designed to inspire action.
Service Hours: 30 (14-day) / 45 (21-day)
