Our sister organization, Leaders Today, offers unique International Volunteer and Leadership trips to some of the most beautiful and exotic places on earth. Combining volunteerism, leadership education, and adventure, Leaders Today trips will help you make a meaningful change in your life, and in the lives of others. It's time for your adventure to begin! This summer we are inviting youth from around the world to travel with us to rural China, the Arizona/Mexico border, Ecuador and Kenya. Sign up today to reserve your spot!
Arizona/Mexico
We welcome youth and school groups to join us in the Santa Cruz Valley and experience the soft winds and sweet songs of the American Southwest! Witness first-hand the challenges facing the tumultuous border region, with a program split between our Arizona Wind-Song Peace and Leadership Center and family home-stays in northern Mexico.
China
Through volunteering and teaching in local communities, China trip participants (youth and school groups) get a unique glimpse at a culture that is defined as highly urban, but that is in fact rooted in centuries-old rural traditions. The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.
Ecuador
Breathtaking scenery, grassroots service learning, and inspirational people await the adventurous spirits who travel to Ecuador! In partnership with local non-government organizations, youth and school groups will engage in activities that help communities directly such as teaching in local schools, planting greenhouses to improve local nutrition, or helping out at a community-based ecotourism project.
Kenya
The Kenya School of the Savannah is open to school, youth, family, adult, and business groups looking for a rewarding and challenging leadership experience. You choose your activities and field trips. You can even fundraise and build a local school; the sky is the limit in Kenya.

Thailand
Experience Thailand’s rich cultural fabric through excursions to night markets, relaxation gardens, and historical Buddhist holy sites. Volunteering in the Klong Toey slum, participants (youth and school groups) teach at a local school, and work with street children through daily activities.
India
India offers participants (youth and school groups) the unique opportunity to volunteer at a Mother Teresa orphanage or hospice, extend hands to freed child labourers, and visit the sacred Ganges. This trip is a vigorous and touching experience that forever changes lives.
