Why choose World Endeavors for your spring break program abroad

World Endeavors Spring Break programs are designed for the individual who wants to combine the typical—traveling to a beautiful, tropical climate over spring break, with the atypical—experiencing a new culture and providing meaningful volunteer service that leaves a lasting impact on the community they visit.

Spring Break programs give students the opportunity to expand their horizons and become more globally-minded citizens while getting the chance to meet new people, make new friends, become immersed in a different culture, improve language skills, re-assess priorities and goals, and help improve the lives of others. Not only are Spring Break programs a wonderful, real-world learning experience, but they are incredibly fun, too.

Healthcare Volunteer in Nakuru, Kenya

Access to quality healthcare services is only available in a few remote areas. In partnership with a hospital established by a local NGO, participants in the healthcare program will provide assistance to the hospital staff, working particularly closely with the nurses. Transportation is also a challenge for many people living in the villages who need care. In effort to address this need, the hospital dispatches mobile care teams – also known as “Backpack Nurses” – to meet patients where they are and provide care for those without access to transportation, or who are confined to their homes. You’ll have the unique opportunity to spend your morning or afternoon with the backpack nursing team,
