Notas do Editor
- Our goal is to show our generation that there is an alternative to vacation package travel. We want students and youth to delve into new cultures and experiences from a local perspective.We’re trying to build a movement of globally active and social conscious backpackers.
- We are not a development organization nor do we claim to be. Our focus is on experiential and service learning. We spend a lot of time with our volunteers discussing what we experience on the ground everyday…discusisng, debating, questioning and challenging. We lean into these conversations and do not shy away from them because we know that exploring the discomfort rather than shying away from it will help us grow.
- Applying what we learn back home to the communities we live in. You don’t need to travel half way around the world to volunteer and contribute in some meaningful way. Occupy Sandy, Romero HouseEngaging our alumni
