Mexico Summer Project 2008
Now in its 68th year, the Mexico Summer Project brings together youth from diverse communities to live with Indigenous peoples in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, Mexico. The Mexico Summer Project offers youth interested in issues of social justice and sustainable development, a seven week, mind-blowing experience to witness and learn from different lifestyles, experience community and create change.

China Summer Work Camp
The China Summer Workcamp begins in Beijing, one of the most developed cities in the world for a few days of sightseeing. Participants will then travel to the Hunan province in rural central China, one of the most remote areas left on the Asian continent. For three weeks, participants will join Chinese, Korean and Japanese volunteers in teaching English and environmental studies to local children. There will be regular days off for participants to visit nearby towns, tour a local market, go on hikes and have an overnight homestay with a city family. The Workcamp concludes with a graduation ceremony for all students. more >
