Belize: Marine & Manatee Conservation

Bring your leadership skills to the next level! This experience is ideal for those looking to explore a new culture, make new friends, and get hands-on experience in the field of environmental and wildlife conservation through volunteer work. Learn from local leaders and meet teens from across North America (and the world!) as you spend two weeks working, playing, and learning together.

In the mornings, we'll wake early and head to the service site, where we'll engage in a variety of projects at the Corozal Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, including marine research, monitoring, surveillance, conservation education and community development initiatives. Get your hands dirty as you transplant mangrove seeds and restore coastal forests that are essential to the protection and biodiversity of the coast. Visit a manatee rescue center and meet the passionate scientists working to rehabilitate manatees back into the wildAfter lunch, enjoy our beautiful Home Base, explore the ocean, go on kayaking or zipline excursions, get up close and personal with Central American wildlife or hear from local leaders and professionals on a variety of topics. We'll also dive deep to discover our individual paths, including exploring our leadership styles and professional and educational goals for the future.
