Rustic Pathways is proud to offer 2 exciting Spring Break opportunities to students looking to do something dramatically different with their vacation time. Both of our Spring Break program offerings are very accessible from all locations in the continental US, and give students the chance to get involved in some of North America’s coolest destinations.
For many of our students, these programs are where it all begins! Many people are a bit nervous to travel very far abroad by themselves, and so find these nearby programs the best option. Upon completion of these programs, nervous parents and students begin to see how life-changing these adventures can be, and the amazing options which exist for them. Many
students return from our North American programs completely psyched up and ready for more, some even signing up for more exotic programs over the summer with friends they’ve met on one of our Spring Break trips. Best of all, the projects really affect positive change on the individuals and communities, and students return home feeling empowered and eager to keep the ball rolling in their own part of the world.
The Baja Smiling Faces Service Project - Spring Break was created specifically for students who want to enjoy the beaches and activities of Baja, but who also have a sincere desire to work with kids and make a lasting impact on the lives of children in need. You should be willing to act as a positive role model and will up to 16 service hours for your work with Cuna Hogar.
