The Road Less Traveled

11/04/2024

With marine ecosystems changing dramatically due to climate change and the role of busy ports and harbors, our students will learn firsthand about some of these issues, and help collect data that informs decisions on a local and global scale to help preserve these underwater habitats. In partnership with Scuba Point, we are returning to Italy and Sardinia next summer for more scuba diving and marine service work. High school students will get to work alongside marine conservationists and expert scuba divers, while also getting PADI certified as part of this 2 week trip. Learn more about this Italian service trip on our website!

Our experienced program leaders provide continuous mentorship, guiding teens through their journey and helping them reflect on their experiences. This mentorship supports personal growth, helping teens understand their strengths, address their weaknesses, and build both confidence and resilience. Our small group settings allow students to have a tight knit community where they can show vunerability, ask questions, have deeper conversations, and share their own growth with their new friends. This again, plays a big part in students growth while on an RLT trip.

Leadership development through service learning: Service projects teach teens the value of giving back and making a difference. Being part of a service project requires commitment, coordination, and execution—skills that are directly transferable to leadership roles. Moreover, seeing the impact of their efforts firsthand instills a sense of accomplishment and responsibility. It also helps teens realise the impact they can have, and will hopefully ignite a passion for doing good.

10/08/2024

Leadership development through cultural immersion on RLT trips: Being immersed in different cultures broadens perspectives and enhances empathy. Teens learn to appreciate diversity and understand different viewpoints. This cultural awareness is a key component of effective leadership, enabling teens to navigate and unite diverse groups.

Teens learn best by doing. Our programs involve hands-on projects that require problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity. Whether it’s building a community project in Costa Rica, teaching English in Thailand, or participating in environmental conservation in the Alps, these experiences teach teens to lead and make decisions in real-world situations.
