The Experience
Students don’t just see the world, they change it. Through service-learning and cultural immersion, students learn to navigate a new environment and expand their comfort zone. Our pre-written curriculum is rooted in global citizenship competencies. Your students will serve, interact and grow. And the local community will grow right alongside them.
Christine Muir Parker
High School Biology Teacher
“In my experience as a student, teacher and life-long learner, there is no better way to learn and teach than with authentic, meaningful, interdisciplinary curriculum which completely immerses all learners. These new experiences, rich with purpose, push us beyond our own comfort zones to create a united community of learners. We are all students; we are all teachers. This bond in learning is rare in the classroom and difficult to replicate. My philosophy is that global education programs should be transformative, rigorous, field-based learning, grounded in the culture and socio-economics of a region. Dream Volunteers creates such global education programs!”
Aukeem Ballard
Teacher & School Administrator
“As an educator I long to ensure my students see learning not just as a set of conversations and debates in a four-walled classroom but rather as a way of seeing the world–a lifelong pursuit of becoming. Over 7 trips with Dream Volunteers across 5 countries, I have come to realize that the dream of inspiring my students minds to grow forever has also done the same for my heart and mind. Seeing their hearts learn alongside their minds enables me to enter a space of re-imagining what it means to engage with the world around me in a positive way that is necessary to confront the ever-changing reality of our global citizenry!”
