Ambassador Trip to Panama 2019

• About
  Our Ambassador Trip to Panama from December 13-16 is an opportunity for educators to experience our program model in-country. Our cohort of Ambassadors will spend two full days (4 days including travel days) in Panama visiting various volunteer sites and partners to get a sense of the projects and types of volunteering your students would be doing. The group will be staying at our home-base lodging accommodations and all meals, transport, flights, and activity fees during the advertised program are included. In addition to site visits and educational workshops the group will also have a lot of fun participating in the various cultural activities and sightseeing activities available to our school groups.
