Service Trip

Why incorporate a service aspect to your program?

​

Incorporating a service project into a group or incentive trip not only enhances the experience, but also creates a lasting impact on the local community creating lifelong memories and meaningful connections. Whether it's the focus of the entire trip or just one aspect of it, service projects foster team bonding, boost morale, and create a sense of purpose beyond just sightseeing or business objectives. Participants can leave with a sense of accomplishment, knowing they’ve made a tangible difference. 

​

Here are some impactful service project ideas in different countries:

​

  • Costa Rica: Contribute to environmental conservation by participating in a beach cleanup or planting native trees in the rainforest to preserve biodiversity.

  • South Africa: Help improve education by volunteering at local schools or community centers, tutoring children, or donating books and supplies.

  • India: Assist in building infrastructure or supporting local artisans by engaging in community development projects or working with nonprofits focused on health and education.

  • Peru: Work alongside local farmers or artisans to support sustainable agriculture and crafts, or help build houses or schools in rural villages.

  • Mexico: Participate in local construction or community-building projects, help organize health clinics, or run educational workshops for children and families in need.

 

No matter the location, we can work with our local partners in incorporating a service element into your group’s itinerary that will be a powerful way to give back while also fostering stronger teamwork and a deeper connection to the destination.
