Student Groups Volunteering Abroad
.jpg)
For years, United Planet has been working with teachers and administrators to arrange service trips for student groups in countries all over the world.
We work with high schools, colleges, universities, medical schools -- and more.
Our projects cover a wide spectrum of local needs and interests--from teaching English in rural Nepal to working in an orphanage in Romania, doing construction in post-earthquake Chile, working in a children’s cancer hospital in Tanzania, and many, many more. Each Quest includes opportunities for travel, improving on or learning a new language, and the chance to forge lasting friendships.
United Planet’s range of programs offers you and your students the chance to create group experiences that expand their world view.
- If the group includes 10 people, the organizer doesn't pay the program fee at all.

Why take your students on an international service trip?
A
group service trip is one of the most profound and educational experiences students may have during their school years. They learn about a new culture and themselves, develop greater independence, enhance language and communication skills, gain greater maturity -- and give back to a community in need.
All United Planet Group Quests combine meaningful service work with exciting excursions and cultural activities and can be tailored to fit your group's needs.

"I loved working with United Planet because of their emphasis on cross-cultural understanding. I was told from the start that I was not in Ghana to impact change, but rather to experience a different culture and gain a greater understanding of my own culture and beliefs. My experience with UP was phenomenal. I learned just how important it is to take the time to understand the perspectives and backgrounds of others…"
--Shannon Coyne, Quest Volunteer, Ghana 2010
