Join a Site Visit in 2025!
Squads Abroad invites you to join one of our programs this year to experience our programs first-hand to see if they are a good fit for your students. You are welcome to join for 4-5 days to see behind-the-scenes, meet our international team and experience the impact of our work.
You can visit Panama, Belize, Guatemala, Ghana or Greece on a Site Visit. These programs can take place during any dates that work for you during which we have programs operating in these countries.
