This program changed my mindset.

“The things we did on this trip are things I never have predicted myself doing. For example, jumping through a waterfall to climb a cave. I was so proud of myself for pulling through with that. This trip made me step out of my comfort zone and conquer my fears. It allowed me to pursue the world beyond. What I will be taking with me is a new mindset. “
We want to plant seeds in the nation's educational system’s learning process. By way of bridging the gap between cultures through Edu tourism that will develop young people intellectually, morally, spiritually, and socially.
Our customized service learning programs are with in Agriculture, Education, economics, history, and music sectors. Students service learning while simultaneously applying ones talents and gifts toward making a difference in the lives of people and the conditions on the earth. Our concept is one that engages an intergenerational group of teachers and learners in activities, practices, and projects that combine academic rigor with an authentic community-based experience.
Jamaica has enormous participation in the 4 H Club that provides facets to influence the younger generation the importance of sustainability in agriculture. In past projects with students, they’ve developed innovated tools for farmers to aid in the cultivation of their crops.
As our program initially evolved with Temple University’s Study abroad program, we thought a younger generation would benefit from this life-changing experience as college students saw a great impact on their lives.
We act as an extension of the partner school or group and work side-by-side with educators, teachers, and community leaders to plan, organize, and lead student programs through Jamaica.
All student trips would generally be held for 10 days; transportation will be provided the entire stay, meals, entry fees, airline tickets, and the service project.
The length, budget, and activities within each of the programs can all be customized to fit the needs of your school or group.
While planning a student travel program to Jamaica, one is faced with countless choices and decisions to make. Making these decisions can be overwhelming and we are here to inform, educate, and ensure that your experience is safe, educational and enlightening.
