About Program
The capital of New Zealand, Wellington, sits right next to the strait dividing the two main islands and acts as the seat of the Kiwi government. We work in a variety of service fields, from Community Health Education and Support to Microfinance and Local Economic Development and so many others.
Throughout your program, you will participate in a variety of reflection-based assignments to add depth to your experiences. Through service at a local organization and these guided reflection activities, our goal is to help you gain a better understanding of the local language, culture, and community.
Each service-learning placement is unique, so visit the ISA Service-Learning website to learn more about the specific placements and program options available in Wellington. We especially recommend our New Zealand program for those interested in community health.
This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with WorldStrides for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.

WorldStrides is devoted to facilitating quality programming to students with varying levels of neurodivergence. Our Health & Safety team is available to answer questions about insurance and medication, as well as provide students with materials on overseas access to support.
Accessibility Support
We are dedicated to facilitating quality programming to students with varying levels of accessibility. With our wide portfolio of program types and locations we’re confident there is a suitable and accessible program for each student. Accommodations abroad can be complex and take time, so those with accessibility needs should inform WorldStrides of any accommodations requests as early as possible in the advising process.
Impact 🌎
Sustainability
We have partnered with Fill it Forward to engage team members and program participants in waste reduction practices. The goal is to encourage the elimination of single-use waste. Every QR code scan shows the impact of reusable bottles and unlocks a donation to environmental impact groups.
Ethical Impact
WorldStrides, a global organization, is committed to educate and serve communities worldwide. Our commitment is fueled by the passion of our team members and partners to make experiential learning accessible, while also being socially, environmentally, and ethically responsible. Together, we accomplish this by investing in initiatives to promote inclusion, diversity, and sustainability.
