    Overview

    On this student community service program in Hawaii, teens have the opportunity to make a difference through volunteer work with amazing organizations. You’ll also learn about Hawaiian culture and gain an appreciation of the Hawaiian people and their way of life. This Hawaii student tour uses a service-learning framework where our staff provide guidance and reflection on the impact of the work we do throughout the program and promote the value of empathy and cultural sensitivity.
