Overview
 We offer life-changing study abroad programs in Nicaragua and Costa Rica for students who believe that they can make a difference in the world: students who would like to play an active role in creating long-term solutions to problems facing our global communities and environment.
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.
Believe you can make a difference? So do we! Visit us at our website below.
