March through June (trip season) is when most groups travel every year. Behind the scenes, there is a lot of time and energy put into every single one of our student group trips by the Global Travel Alliance’s staff. We pride ourselves on providing personalized, one-of-a-kind service, allowing people of all ages to experience their trip-of-a-lifetime. The apple of our eye though is the Service Scholar program, and the life changing stories we get to hear and experience from every trip we coordinate. Our Service Scholars trips, designed for high school students, are a definite highlight of every trip season. They take world travel one more step by giving back to and serving that destination’s local community.
Most recently, we had Service Scholars travel from Colorado, Utah and Montana to meet up in Costa Rica. Four students from the innovative Leaf Cutter Project also joined them. The group partnered with Global Doing Good to build a new house for a family in need. This family of three (pictures below), previously called a 60 square foot crudely built shack, with a dirt floor full of ants and termites, home. Their front door was “locked” at night using a well-worn scrap of rope.
Thanks to this awesome group of service-minded high school students, this young family can now live and sleep in the safety of their new home; concrete floors, sturdy walls, windows, door handle and key included!

The fact that every time we build a house for one family and we left knowing we are providing better quality of life for them doesn’t really have a price. It’s one of the most amazing feelings that we can have. Seeing the students from the group involved in this is amazing.
