Meet the Whole World in One City
Meet, collaborate and engage with students from every corner of the world in this action-packed program of C-A-S projects and challenges set in the most dynamic city on planet earth – New York!
In this epic 7-day New York adventure, students will engage with charities, NGOs, creative projects and community organizations to understand, interact and make a genuine difference to some of the real issues affecting modern-day New Yorkers.
Of course, any trip to NYC would not be complete without exploring the theaters, avenues and shops of Manhattan. Students will also participate in dynamic Service Challenges, working in cooperation with locals to give back to the community through combating homelessness, cooking with refugee chefs, maintaining vital urban community gardens and much, much more.
