We care about sustainable travel
We’re driven to create positive contributions in the world, but also humble enough to know the types of community initiatives our students should and shouldn’t be involved with. We carefully select all community initiatives to be appropriate for young people and we avoid making claims we can’t back up. This means you’ll work towards a community initiative while also coming home with greater humility and a sense of place in the world. Below are some of the global goals we’re working hard to support through our travels.
- Decent work and economic growth
- Gender equality
- Clean water & sanitation
- Quality education
- Climate action
- Life below water
- Life on land
