Through experiential service-learning, you will:
* Immerse yourself in another culture.
* Discover that learning is not a spectator sport as you get your feet muddy
hiking to the top of a volcano or your hands dirty installing solar collectors for a
remote village school.
* Become part of the solution to local and global environmental problems.
* Earn 15 college credits.
* Design your own action plan, following completion of the program, to become a
part of a network of individuals of conscience committed to global sustainability.
