Help tackle service projects focused on public health and environmental stewardship, specifically San Diego clean waterway and healthy canyon initiatives. You may work on projects such as plastic-free campaigns, community clean-ups, supporting local watersheds, and/or invasive plant species removal in an urban canyon trail system. In addition, you’ll contribute to health workshops and participate in a community health and advocacy program near the border. Learn how essential community advocacy and preventative care are and what barriers may be faced, such as cost of treatment or pending legal status.

Kayak in La Jolla Cove, known as “California’s Jewel” for its incredible marine wildlife. The knowledgeable guides will teach you plenty about this marine-protected area and its role as both a popular tourist spot and an ocean wildlife hub. Look up and you’ll see nesting peregrine falcons and cormorants on the cliffs, alongside sea lions sunbathing on stunning rock formations. With a little luck you might spot sea turtles, dolphins and even leopard sharks! Then, tour the city and see what the oldest settled region of California has to offer.
