Summer Community Service and Language Study Plus: The summer program provides a well-rounded and wonderful way to immerse yourself in Panama through a homestay community service and study program that also has scheduled language classes. You will grow to understand the social, family, and cultural life of a small community in Panama. You will volunteer in the community, learn Spanish, participate in recreational activities, and enjoy excursions to help you explore more of the country. After a two-day orientation in Panama City, participants are placed in host communities in groups of eight to ten. You'll stay individually with a host family, perform community service at local elementary schools in the morning, and attend Spanish class in the afternoon. Spanish classes are only for the first two weeks. Service activities could include making physical improvements to classrooms and other facilities. There's also a one-day outing to an ecological site near Panama City.
