We understand the importance of engaging students with communities through action. The problem with typical service learning is that it can create an incredible power imbalance between the host community and the visitors - often causing more harm than good. We are dedicated to changing the way service learning is thought of, planned for, and engaged in. We believe in learning service and interdependence, small changes in language that has a giant change in values and impact. Ask us more about how we are working to change the typical approach to service.
Sharing in the experience adds an important layer to the design of all our Global Learning Programs. We ask every program to share their experience through blogs, video highlights and photo albums. We consolidate and transfer learning through real time engagement.

This educational program explores the transformative power of education and community-driven solutions for sustainability. Students will examine the role of education in shaping Africa’s future by connecting with young scholarship recipients at a local boarding school. Through personal interactions, they’ll gain insight into the impact of access to education and the aspirations of their Kenyan peers.
Beyond the classroom, students will engage with Maasai artisans to understand the cultural significance of beading and explore how traditional knowledge influences land use and wildlife conservation. Visits to small-scale agricultural operations, such as a mango plantation, a chicken and egg farm, and a local fishery, offer a firsthand look at sustainable livelihoods, while a stop at Del Monte’s vast pineapple plantations provides a striking comparison to large-scale agribusiness.
Students will also visit a mobile health clinic to learn about community healthcare initiatives, with a special focus on women’s health and the challenges of providing medical services in rural areas. A game drive through Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes will highlight conservation efforts and the delicate balance between human development and wildlife protection. By engaging with local entrepreneurs, healthcare workers, and educators, students will gain a deeper understanding of the interconnected challenges and opportunities shaping Kenya’s future.
