Middle School Service in Ecuador & the Galápagos

Travel from Ecuador’s Andean highlands to the legendary Galápagos Islands on a summer program designed for middle school students. Live for nine days in a welcoming Kichwa community and join residents in meaningful service—supporting light construction, harvesting crops, and learning local traditions. Then explore the Galápagos’ extraordinary wildlife, from giant tortoises to blue-footed boobies, while hiking, biking, and snorkeling through volcanic landscapes. Build friendships, practice Spanish, and experience two of the world’s most biodiverse regions.
