International Student Volunteers (ISV) is a California-based non-profit volunteer organization.
Since 2002, more than 35,000 students have joined ISV to volunteer and make a difference during
their summer break. One of ISV's programs, High School Program (HSP), combining volunteer
work and adventure travel, is an 18-day program for high school students aged 15-18. Since its first
launch in 2007 in Australia for the first time, HSP has provided opportunities for students to make
a difference to communities and those in need while learning about responsibility and global issues.
Each group of students is led by a seasoned ISV leader and accompanied by a High School
leader (either teacher or coach) throughout their trip. HSP's regional staff are available to provide
timely help. Students can live, travel and learn in a fun environment. There are a lot of activities
that build good characters and inspire students to contribute their efforts and time to communities.
For a couple of days, students can visit local areas and learn about their cultures or difficulties faced
by local people. For the other days, they can join adventure activities to step out of their comfort
zone and challenge themselves.
High school students can choose among three countries - Costa Rica, Dominican Republic or
Thailand to spend their trip. HSP intends to expand their network to other countries. If you're a high
school student, give it a shot!
