Passionate About:

I am an Agricultural and Environmental Education undergraduate student with hopes of going into a career in public outreach and/or education. I am passionate about animals, the environment, and the promotion and creation of sustainable food systems around the world. In addition to this I am an avid water polo player and endurance racer and an aspiring triathlete. I would like to go to Ecuador over my final college spring break in order to be immersed in a new culture while helping locals restore their environment. With your support, I can make this dream into a reality.

UC Davis Ecuador Spring Break 2017



Volunteer Activity Description

TRAVEL.
Traveling with GSE involves everything from visiting a native bird sanctuary to hiking along Ecuador’s beautiful coastline. Students enjoy authentic Ecuadorian cuisine and collaborate on local projects with their international peers.

LEARN.
GSE uses hands-on service-learning projects and cultural exchanges to provide students with life changing learning opportunities. Students develop ecological literacy and participate in grassroots international relations while building crucial 21st century skills such as communication and collaboration.

IMPACT.
Each year during exchange programs, students plant 5,000 native trees in La Punta Gorda Preserve. Students also work along side their Ecuadorian peers at Fanny de Baird High School to further develop their school garden. The garden provides produce for the school community and offers an interactive education on local food systems and organic farming.

GROW.
Plants aren’t the only things that grow! International travel facilitates profound transformation for students. Students leave the trip with a better understanding of different cultures and people, inspiring them to become change makers and leaders in their own community.
