About Program
There is nowhere in the world quite like Thailand—incredible people, jaw-dropping scenery, fascinating culture, and mouthwatering food.
You’ll explore and marvel at ornate palaces and visit Buddhist temples in the bustling capital city. Just a short plane ride away in the mountainous jungle you’ll spend a day in an elephant sanctuary feeding, bathing, and caring for rescued elephants and finish off your evenings wandering the colorful local night markets. Enjoy lunch with monks, ride one of the longest zip-lines in the world, and head to the Andaman Sea to snorkel in turquoise water among towering limestone cliffs. You’ll learn how to pick ingredients, shop at the street market, and prepare six different Thai dishes in our local cooking class.
Elephants, ziplines, and snorkeling are amazing, but the part of this trip that most youth love best are the relationships you develop with the incredible women and children from our social impact project.

Human trafficking has been identified as the largest human rights violation in the history of mankind
Human trafficking is a global problem, and one of the world’s most horrendous crimes. Children are sold for forced labor, sexual exploitation, or as child soldiers. Women are brutalized and traded like commodities.
Fighting against human trafficking is key, but so is providing long-term support and healing for those who have been rescued from modern slavery of any form. At a local safe-house in Thailand, you will participate in projects that help women and children that have been rescued from human trafficking and other abusive situations.
