How To Organize Student Travel Programs
How To Organize Student Travel ProgramsMEDLIFE’s volunteer abroad programs for college and high school students offer the chance to travel, learn, and make a meaningful impact in underserved communities. Whether assisting medical professionals at a Mobile Clinic or working on infrastructure and education projects, students have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of global issues while developing leadership and teamwork skills amongst peers.
Teachers and professors can organize educational travel programs with MEDLIFE to build their curriculum and get their students involved with a good cause. Your students will learn about global health, poverty reduction, the cycle of poverty, leadership skills, and a deeper understanding and empathy for the world around them.
Our volunteer abroad programs are available in several countries, including Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Tanzania, and Guatemala.
What Are The Benefits Of Volunteering With MEDLIFE For Students?
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It. Check Out Some Student Volunteer Testimonials!
It’s good for a high schooler to expand their worldview that early because a lot of them actually don’t travel outside of their hometown much. Definitely aids my general perspective of the world.
Being away in a different country gives you an eye-opening to different opportunities to meet new people and collaborate with others. It’s really great.
Coming to an SLT is 100% worth it. I’ve had so much fun. You meet a bunch of new people, make a bunch of friends, and it feels good to help out and do all these things.
Service And Mission Trips For Teens
Our Service Learning Trips are the perfect opportunity for high school and college students searching for non-religious mission trips that focus on long-term solutions rather than photo-ops and performative activism.
MEDLIFE’s Approach: Our projects aim to leave a lasting impact once our volunteers have left. Many volunteer programs can fall short when it comes to follow-up care and fulfilling promises. We work to prioritize initiatives that unlock greater resources within communities, creating a ripple effect. For instance, constructing a staircase in a community can lead to providing access to land titles, water, or sewage services. We also employ a comprehensive patient follow-up program, that ensures every patient receives the full amount of care they need, rather than just a quick check-up and short-term solutions.
