Take part in Alternative Break Programs in Ecuador and South America. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage students in experiential learning through community service and volunteerism during their spring, summer, fall, or winter break. This is a community service-learning trip.

Worldwide participants passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate are welcome to join this remarkable endeavor. Volunteers work closely with community members in a wide range of meaningful humanitarian projects, including childcare, elderly care, healthcare, construction work, teaching/education, micro-enterprise, veterinary services, eco-tourism, human rights, HIV/AIDS, etc. They can also take part in conservation projects: environmental education, reforestation, tree nursery, organic farming, animal care, etc.

In short, our Alternative Breaks Program is a unique service opportunity for students, professionals, retirees, and people in general.

Enjoy Ecuador, a country of many exotic natural landscapes and incredible culture - a perfect destination for volunteers and explorers who wish to experience the multiculturalism and diversity of the country.
