Service Learning Tours

Dive into hands-on work and deep cultural exposure

Service Learning Tours

On an EF Service Learning trip, travelers work with established nonprofits, NGOs, and locals on community-driven projects to make meaningful, sustainable contributions. Through hands-on work and deep exposure to different cultures, students learn vital collaboration and problem-solving skills. After one of our school service trips to the Dominican Republic, Peru, Thailand, or Rwanda, students return inspired to make a difference at home, too.
