Volunteer Service Trips to Nicaragua

My trip with Bridges to Nicaragua was absolutely life changing! The fantastic staff led us in truly meaningful discussions every night and really helped us learn why what we were doing was important! One evening we were split up into groups to discuss what things we would purchase for our "families" on different budgets. The purpose of the activity was that one "family" had significantly more money than some of the others, and for us to learn how different people around the world live and survive. The whole trip was really incredible, and I learned so much while I was there that I was able to bring back and talk about in classes back home as well as with family and friends.

I've been on two Bridges trips to Nicaragua during high school, and both weeks were amazing. I met great people, worked alongside amazing community members, and experienced another culture. I would recommend these trips to anyone, and strongly encourage going with Bridges. The trips are run by amazing Bridges leaders, the activities are all relevant and eye-opening, and the facilities on the site are all clean and safe, and every staff member is helpful and caring.
