Description

Service Leadership is a 32-day adventure and community service exploration of what it takes to be a leader in the field of international service learning as we make our classroom the jungles of Costa Rica and Panama. Collaborating with and volunteering in a local community, we learn the skills and tools needed to develop and see a community service project to fruition. Along the way, we explore the beaches of Bocas del Toro, whitewater raft down the Pacuare River, hike the highest peak in Panama and try our skills on a surfboard. Contact us to learn about one of RLT's summer service leadership travel programs for youth!
