About Program

Do you want to travel to Central America? Want to change lives? Join us this spring! Travel to Panama or Guatemala for one week with a group of like-minded high schoolers to help build a school or playground and improve international education. You'll make new friends, immerse yourself in a new culture, and form lasting relationships with local children and families. Don't miss the experience of a lifetime!

Each group that travels funds and participates in the final construction phase of a new school building and/or playground during this journey of discovery. Students spend most of the week in a rural community in Panama or Guatemala, working on the project and interacting with the children, parents and teachers to form strong bonds through mutual learning. We also believe cultural exposure and understanding is an important part of our program. During the trip, students experience the beauty of Central American culture by visiting either the Panama Canal or Antigua.

This program is no longer offered. View more programs from School the World.
