Trip Focuses

Each of our trips fall within one of 15 focuses based on the community issue that we hope to address through our service. Although each trip has a primary focus, we always strive for intersectionality, meaning that our trips encompass multiple issues outside of their primary one. We understand that community issues do not exist within a vacuum. Understanding the ways in which multiple factors influence the circumstances of a community is an integral component of providing effective service.
