Legacy Trips immerse youth in a weekend service/learning experience built around understanding civil rights and social justice issues.
On a Legacy Trip, you and your students work side by side with locals on community-driven projects in various cities throughout the United States. We partner with established non-profits and NGOs to make sure your contributions are both meaningful and sustainable. Through hands-on work and deep exposure to the local culture, students learn vital collaboration and problem-solving skills as their cultural intelligence increases. And, they return home inspired to make a difference in their local communities.
What To Expect On A Legacy Trip
Each trip helps deepen your students’ understanding of other cultures, develop new perspectives on local issues and strengthen the leadership skills necessary for true global citizenship, through:
Meaningful Service
Working side by side with locals, you’ll gain insight into the challenges they face as they build lasting solutions to help empower the community.
Cultural Immersion
Stay in the communities you serve—celebrating diverse customs and forming impacting and lasting connections with individuals you meet.
Leadership Development
Your Trip Facilitator takes your service experience even further, strengthening leadership skills through educational activities and skill-building exercises.
