About Program

We strive to provide diverse, affordable, meaningful, and ethical global service-learning opportunities. Through professional and personalized support, our goal is for each participant to meet our learning objectives of personal growth, intercultural competency, academic application, and civic engagement!

While service-learning in Africa, appreciate the amazing architecture of UNESCO World Heritage site Meknes, such as Bab Mansour, a huge gate with towering arches and mosaic tiling in Morocco and take a cable-car ride up Table Mountain to enjoy the breathtaking view of the city and peninsula while in South Africa.

We are dedicated to developing ethical and sustainable service-learning programs with the intention of forming mutually beneficial relationships while making a positive impact on the communities we serve. In bringing unique people and cultures together, we aim to promote an understanding of global issues.

Our country-specific diversity pages offer information about the societies and cultural history of our destinations.
