Program overview
Explore modern social justice and community development issues as you collaborate with indigenous rights organizations – both in the Andes mountains and in the Amazon Rainforest region. Examine the ripple effect of complex social, political, and economic policies on local inhabitants across the socio-economic spectrum.
Bask in the glory of the most biodiverse nation on earth: from the misty mountains of the Andes to the steamy jungles of the Amazon basin. Learn the impact of climate change on each of these regions and see first-hand how decisions we make at home impact these ecological hotbeds a continent away.
