Once your goal has been met, you’ll travel to one of our partner countries, work side-by-side with community members to construct a school, immerse in the local culture, and see the profound impact of service and education first-hand.

What Trek Volunteers Are Saying
“Trek was by far the most impactful experience I’ve ever been a part of. Seeing the change you can make, while being alongside incredible communities, people, and volunteers, was nothing short of life-changing.”
“I am also a firm believer that seeing / experiencing other cultures and ways of life helps develop empathy and a better intercultural understanding between communities and peoples, and going on trek helped further my own growth and that of my students.”
“I learned that female empowerment is so vital, and it is especially important to uplift females everywhere, even when it’s accustomed not to.”
“I would definitely recommend the Trek experience to others. The Trek experience is all-encompassing: travel, service with a community, living with a village family, cultural activities, and nightly reflections. It beautifully combines the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual exertion that one needs to personally up-level in almost every way.”
