Faculty Site Visits
Join a 5-day trip abroad with faculty from around the country to experience our programs first hand!
Come see our projects first-hand! Our in-country teams are excited to welcome you and your colleagues on a 5-day Faculty Site Visit to show you the amazing work that we have been doing for the past 20 years and hopefully inspire you to return with your students.
During the trip, we will engage you in community service projects, educational workshops, cultural learning and exchange activities. The program includes all airfare, food, lodging, transport and advertised activities. We hope to see you on the next Site Visit!
