This is Service Learning with EF
Forge a (literal) path in a national park. Get your hands dirty on an urban farm. Plant something. Start a conversation with a stranger. Help introduce an endangered species back into the wild. Band together. Swing a hammer. Sort school supplies for families in need. Taste a different food. Build a greenhouse. Serve a meal. Follow directions. Help others do the same. Get inspired by the kind of progress you can see, and the kind of change you can feel.

Environmental Citizenship in the Dominican Republic

Trek into the central highlands of the Dominican Republic where mountainous landscapes, coffee plantations, and alpine pastures stretch as far as the eye can see. Explore the area’s rich biodiversity while learning how reforestation and ecotourism efforts have significantly helped replenish the land. As you’re immersed in the local culture, you’ll work together with nonprofits and community members to build sustainable solutions to the conservation, economic, and social challenges they face.

9 days

Exploring Art, Culture, and Service in Peru

From Lima to Machu Picchu, you’ll be immersed in the land and culture of Peru. Connect with local communities in the Sacred Valley and learn how they preserve history, art, and their heritage. There, you’ll focus on the archaeological remains of the Inca Empire and their lasting cultural influences. While taking in the breathtaking sights from atop the mighty Andes, you’ll also spend two days working in a local community on projects that support economic sustainability, local agriculture, and access to education.
