Puerto Rico (San Juan)

  • Pre-Packaged: High School

Be immersed in a rich cultural experience as you learn about the strengths and struggles of those in Puerto Rico through serving at local organizations.

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’ll help address poverty by partnering with local organizations, and see firsthand what it looks like to do community development in an area that has survived multiple natural disasters. Service in Puerto Rico is highly relational, whether you’re working with children, youth or the elderly. YouthWorks has been serving in Puerto Rico since 2003.
