What are CLS Trips?
All of our trips include elements of Service. However, our CLS trips focus exclusively on Service, matching schools to communities with authentic needs.
These trips are mutually beneficial as students will gain critical life skills and experiences while serving genuine needs of communities across the globe.
CLS trips are designed for communities by communities in order to make a lasting positive impact.
