​​Isla partners with universities and academic institutions around the world to develop group trips that combine a university faculty-led academic program with Isla internship placements.
​Isla manages the trip logistics, too!

​

Isla faculty-led and group trips provide an opportunity for students, friends, family, classmates or colleagues to come together on a short-term, high-impact project with one or more of Isla's local partner grassroots organizations. In addition, we believe giving students first-hand internship experience with one of Isla partner organizations adds incredible value to any academic curriculum abroad.
​
Ideally, the group trips are designed around a group, such as a university course, club, or service learning or volunteer group that is already engaged with a topic that aligns closely with the goals and priorities of our host communities. Any group with a genuine interest in developing a strong relationship with a local community abroad can participate in this program.

With our work across several interrelated sectors, such as education and youth development, the arts and cultural preservation, social justice and gender equality, global health and well-being, small business and social enterprise development, social justice, and environmental and wildlife conservation and education, and much more - we tailor our partnerships to each institution or department.
