Due to the nature of this mission, we do hope to understand your child to the very best of our ability prior to leaving the US for Latin America. The answers to these questions will help reveal them in a different light. We do know that not every 13-14 year old is ready for this type of cultural immersion, so it is important for you to assess the readiness of your child so that they can have the best possible experience with us, be engaged and present as a team member and to experience personal growth from this opportunity.
We are grateful for your assistance. Please fill out the following form & submit your recommendation online. To ensure that the recommendation information is not lost, we encourage you to type those out in a separate document first and then copy and paste your answers into the final application.
If you have any questions after going through the entire application, feel free to email us at
