Experience South America's natural beauty and cultural richness in this summer volunteer program. Work on diverse community service projects alongside locals in Quito and the Amazon Rainforest. 

This program in Ecuador uses a service-learning framework tailored for high school students. Our staff provides guidance and reflection on the impact of our work and promotes the values of empathy and cultural sensitivity. When not volunteering, explore Quito – the first city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, where you’ll straddle the Northern and Southern Hemispheres at the same time. See the breathtaking views of the dense rainforest and rushing waterfalls in Baños.

What’s even more special than the things you will see and do in South America is feeling the warm hospitality of the Ecuadorian people. Led by outstanding staff, this small-group adventure tour is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

This trip is the first 12 days of our extended 18-day Ecuador & Galapagos Service & Adventure program.
