Valencia Community College is working on Ometepe Island, a volcanic island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. During their stay, students will work in local schools to help improve education opportunities for Nicaraguan children. They will teach English and also build sinks at each school, so that students can wash their hands and stay healthy. The Valencia students will also sea kayak, mountain bike, swim in the Pacific Ocean, climb the Masaya Volcano and visit the colonial city of Granada.

The mission of the World Leadership School is to unite young people around the world’s most pressing problems and empower them to become leaders. We use volunteering as a platform for teaching global issues and leadership.
World Leadership School partners with schools to offer 1-4 week service learning trips to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, Peru and the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Each program is custom-fit to the needs of each school but includes the following key elements: On a World Leadership School trip, students focus on a single global issue like climate change or poverty. Students advance from understanding to action by working alongside inspiring local leaders who are doing something about these problems. Along the way, students will look inside themselves and begin a personal leadership journey. |
