Service Learning while Volunteering in Ecuador
Program Overview
Many people dream of visiting foreign countries for various reasons. Volunteering abroad to serve communities can be one of the most rewarding reasons to see the world. Service Learning engages students in valuable experiential learning through service opportunities that benefit the community.
ELEP Volunteer & Internship Programs provide students with unique service-learning volunteer opportunities abroad in Ecuador at non-profit organizations, public institutions, community associations, and many others. All the work performed benefits the local community or environment, and these real-life experiences enhance academic studies and increase their personal growth and interpersonal skills. Our philosophy is learning by doing!
Our valuable program takes learning outside the classroom and into real-life situations. Service learning is a teaching and learning strategy that helps students to enrich their learning experience.
Community services and learning opportunities include children and senior welfare, art, sport, teaching, healthcare, building, sustainable conservation, sport, and animal welfare.
Put theory into practice through a variety of activities. Learn while serving!
