About Puerto Rico

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.

Please note: All information regarding service and community engagement activities are subject to change. We are actively working to identify community engagement and service opportunities in consideration of COVID.

Serving in Puerto Rico

  • Partner with local organizations to meet ongoing needs in the community.
  • Students may serve all or part of the week at an outreach ministry, a local church working to meet the needs of its neighbors, a community farm or a variety of children's programs.
  • The service schedule and organizations we serve with varies depending on the week of the summer.

Quote

“Puerto Rico has been unlike other mission trips we’ve had so far. The programming and structure allowed for a fantastic experience, we gained more than what we gave. I’ll remember this trip forever.”
