Description:
Since inspiring Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, these islands have gone from an uninhabited island chain to a global hub of eco-tourism. This human invasion has caused a great need for the preservation of both land and sea. Lifeworks-Galapagos lends its hands to a variety of causes devoted to the conservation of these beautiful islands. The Galapagos consist of more than 100 islands located off the coast of Ecuador. This once-lonely island group is one of the most biologically important places on earth. We are the only teen community service group associated with the Galapagos, working directly with the parks.
Highlights:
Community service and Conservation projects; President's Volunteer Service Award program; Cultural exploration
