Join us for an inspiring service trip in Nicaragua from March 15-22, 2014!
Dear Alum:
Do you want to make a difference? Are you looking for a meaningful way to invest your time and talent?
The Yale Alumni Service Corps invites you- alumni, family, and friends – to join us on a truly inspiring service opportunity as we immerse ourselves in a cultural exchange with El Trohilo, a village near New Haven’s own sister city of León, Nicaragua.
This return service trip is an opportunity for you to volunteer in this underserved village and continue the great work to support this community.
Echoing Nathan Hale’s words of “I wish to be useful” – you can serve on projects that reflect your skills and interest. You can:
- Teach children in the village school
- Care for patients in the medical clinic
- Coach sports to young athletes
- Work on construction projects
- Share your business skills with small business owners and the local Co-Op
You will work side by side with the people of El Trohilo as they strive to improve the quality of their lives. You will build cross-cultural understanding and in the process make friends for life. We hope you can join us in this opportunity to make a difference in El Trohilo! This is a wonderful experience for families and individuals to change lives, including your own! Alumni – and their friends and family from all classes, graduate and professional schools are welcome. We can only accommodate 60 volunteers so please sign up early! The cost is $1,490 exclusive of airfare to/from Managua, Nicaragua.
