During the Adventure Travel Classroom you get the opportunity to interact with the locals and really get to understand modern Venezuela on a various cultural immersion projects. You can choose whether to do this at Merida or Playa Colorada.

You will have a choice of environmental projects and social projects. Social projects include working with established charities such as Don Bosco and Abansa which have an excellent track record providing educational and fun activities for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. This work is very rewarding AND is an opportunity to put your new found Spanish language skills to practical use! There are placements in Zoos also.

These are not your typical gap year volunteering projects that do more harm than good, but a genuinely beneficial experience for both the locals and program participants.
