About Program
Assist in providing community and medical services to those in need while gaining global health experience and immersing yourself in a new culture!
ISL serves small villages in the high-altitude coffee region of central Colombia which are too far for regional hospitals to provide healthcare on a regular basis. These farm-working communities mostly live an agrarian subsistence living off the land and harvesting coffee.
Colombia has both Global Health and Nursing teams traveling year round.

Program Highlights
- ISL has over 20 years of experience providing volunteers opportunities in 12 different countries
- Our programs are always coordinated by our in-country employees, who are locals and know the area and culture well
- We work under the direction of the local government Ministries of Health, and students are only involved to the extent that these officials approve
- We treat acute conditions only and maintain contact with, and in most cases, re-visit work sites again and again to ensure a lasting relationship
