Program Overview

Say ciao to the Cinque Terre, where we will complete our service project. Marvel at the picture perfect coast of the Italian Riviera, with it’s five pastel-painted fishing towns nestled into the cliffside. A longstanding relationship between Travel For Teens and the local community of Monterosso allows our participants to work on meaningful service projects every year. We will work at a Capuchin monastery with the monks to help rebuild historic walls, work to restore the hiking trails that have been damaged and closed to the public, and help improve the facilities of some local schools. As if giving back weren’t rewarding enough, you’ll enjoy stunning Mediterranean vistas every day! After our time spent in the Cinque Terre, we’ll stop at a private Tuscan estate for a cooking lesson and winery tour (optional) and head to Rome to uncover what the Eternal City has to offer! We will spend the last few days of this program soaking up the sun in southern Italy’s hottest destination, the Amalfi Coast.

The time of my life: Italy service and adventure :)

This trip gave the opportunities to have the summer of my lifetime! We started out with a week of community service in the gorgeous setting the Cinque Terre. During this week we amounted 20 hours of community service, but still had time to participate in different activities within the different towns. From there the group moved south- from Tuscany to Sorrento, even stopping in Rome for a few days. The itinerary was jammed packed with different planned activities for us to participate in, as well as built in free time for us to have the ability to explore the towns. The counselors were amazing on this trip, making sure that we were safe at all times, while still giving us time to explore on our own! They were pretty cool and it was super easy to talk to them about ANYTHING going on, if anything happened :)

An amazing experience!

Over summer I went on the Italy Service and Adventure trip with Travel for Teens and it was absolutely incredible. We volunteered at an Italian elementary school and a monastery during the beginning of the trip, and towards the end we took part in many fun activities. For example, we went to Vatican City, spent a day on a boat off the Amalfi Coast, and went to the island of Capri. Each day was a new adventure and I had some of the best experiences of my life on this trip! Even with all of these fun activities, the Italian food was by far the best part. TFT knew all of the amazing food spots and I will never again be satisfied by Italian food in America!
