Puerto Rico (Arecibo)
- Pre-Packaged Trips: High School
Learn about the strengths and struggles of Puerto Ricans through serving at local organizations and learning from community members in an immersive cross-cultural experience.
Overview
Serving in a place where Spanish is the primary language will give your group an opportunity to step into a genuine cross-cultural experience. You will experience the vibrant culture by learning local history from local leaders and enjoying regional cuisine. You’ll help local organizations addressing the effects of poverty, and see firsthand what it looks like to do community development in an area that has survived multiple natural disasters and manages daily life with limited resources. Service in Arecibo is highly relational, whether you’re working with children, youth or the elderly and we look to our local leaders to guide our work and partnerships in the community. YouthWorks has been serving in Puerto Rico since 2003.
