CAS Trips

03/06/2026

Our CLS (Community-Led Service) programs are designed in partnership with local communities and organizations to ensure that student involvement responds to authentic needs in thoughtful and sustainable ways.

Through these programs, students are encouraged to:
• Develop global awareness and empathy
• Build confidence and initiative
• Demonstrate perseverance and adaptability
• Engage with real-world issues in meaningful ways
• Grow as active participants in a global community

Each CLS program also includes structured support for schools and educators, including:
• Pre-trip engagement materials
• Community needs analysis
• Participant pledges
• Academic and reflection frameworks
• Opportunities for customization based on your students and goals

No two school communities are the same, and we work closely with educators to create experiences that truly fit.

As the school year wraps up, we’re sharing reflections from teachers who joined our trips.

Across different destinations, one thing stands out: these experiences aren’t just for students. Teachers are part of the journey too, learning, connecting, and seeing things from a new perspective along the way.

Thank you to all the educators who were part of it. Your curiosity and dedication to learning add a beautifully rich dimension to every trip!

We asked our Trip Leaders to share experiences that open space for honest conversations, where assumptions are challenged and empathy begins to grow.

In Athens, the Homeless Interactive Bootcamp introduces many students to a reality they may have never encountered before. Through guided discussion and personal stories, they begin to understand that homelessness is not defined by a single cause, but shaped by complex and often unexpected circumstances.

It’s in these moments of awareness that perspective starts to change.
