There is service in everything we do.
Wherever we travel, whatever you choose to study and explore, service plays a significant role in the design of all our programs. At Broadreach, we see service projects as opportunities to complement the focus of each trip and provide relevant, real-world context for critical global issues. By partnering with a worldwide network of service organizations such a REEF or the Sea Turtle Conservancy, or by digging in at the local level on initiatives like Kids Saving the Rainforest, we are able to make meaningful and tangible contributions to the communities we become part of. The hours devoted to service are more than just a notch on your college application or resume. They are life-changing experiences that will give you newfound perspective, empower you to make a difference and prepare you for a lifetime of global citizenship.
While all Broadreach programs incorporate at least 5 hours of community service, some offer significantly more hours. Below is a list of our most service-intensive programs. You may also use the filters on the left to choose a specific location or range of service hours.
