Description:
Join us at one of our amazing locations for an unforgettable and valuable spring break experience. Volunteer with a group of friends or family of 10 or more, and we will create a customized program that fits with the skills and interests of your group. Build an elementary school, install a drinking water system or complete another essential project while working side by side with local community members.
In addition to meaningful development work, community celebrations, and daily adventures, your group of ProWorld volunteers will hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, snorkel in the Caribbean, or trek an ancient community trail. This truly is the Spring Break of lifetime!
Programs are highly supported by an onsite staff team and welcoming community partners. ProWorld, founded in 1998, is a true leader in the fields of study abroad and international development.
Teams of ProWorld Project Coordinators work year round with our host communities assessing needs, thinking creatively, and setting long-term goals for sustainable development and volunteer projects. Programs start every month of the year.
Highlights:
Real Projects... Real Experience! Work side by side with local community members, explore local ruins and immerse yourselves in a new culture.
These and other weekly adventures combine with cultural excursion and productive volunteer work to form a comprehensive and unique experience.
