Service travel is more than just an adventure. For students, it is an opportunity to grow as leaders, engage with diverse cultures, and discover the power of making a difference. At Somos Travel, we specialize in service learning travel programs in Latin America that blend cultural adventure with grassroots nonprofit partnerships. These trips are designed to build confidence, resilience, and collaboration while leaving a measurable impact in host communities.
Leadership skills are essential for success in college, careers, and life. Yet traditional classrooms rarely provide the chance to practice them in real-world situations. Student service trips fill this gap by pushing participants outside their comfort zones.
These lessons create a foundation for lifelong leadership.
Somos Travel partners with vetted grassroots nonprofits in Guatemala, Belize, and beyond to deliver safe and authentic programs. Students engage in projects such as:

Kayaking, hiking volcanoes, or exploring Mayan ruins combine adventure with leadership growth. These experiences require teamwork, trust, and courage.
We’ve seen students return home from Somos Travel programs more focused, empathetic, and motivated. Parents and educators report growth in:
