Most of you probably don’t know that I grew up on a little island in the South Pacific.  That experience molded me and gave me a world perspective that I want to pass onto our children.  I’m quite serious when I tell our teenagers they will not earn their high school diploma until they have traveled to a developing country.

I’m not sure yet how we will make that trip happen. There are so many options!  One of our options is for the teens to go to Brazil with their grandparents, who visit the country nearly every Summer. Another option is to go with a teen volunteer abroad program, such as Global Leadership Adventures.

Gla
I was recently introduced to Global Leadership Adventures and their summer volunteer programs. High school students may join a group of other students to travel abroad for teen summer community service, hands-on learing, and immersion in a culture unlike their own.

Students learn about the country they visit, including that country’s wildlife, people, culture, and environment.  The teens also learn how that country handles poverty and politics, and other political-economic issues.  Emphasis is on community service.  Weekends are reserved for touring cultural and historical locations.

Available trips are to Africa, Latin America, The Galapagos Islands, the Caribbean, China, India and Bali. Applications for summer programs are received through May.

For a free catalog of available opportunities visit Global Leadership Adventures.

If you had the money and they had the time, would you consider sending your teens abroad for a summer program?  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a compensated post for Global Leadership Adventures (it helps pay the bills, so we can find you more freebies!).  I have not yet used their services, so this is not a recommendation, but rather a suggestion for your research. ~ Lori

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

making the transition from public school to homeschool

We did what you’re doing, or thinking about doing. Our eldest two went to public school in our little town, and it was just fine, we didn’t have any problems, but I missed them. Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
