Passionate About:

About 4 months ago I committed myself to GSE I have always been interested but, this year I put aside the time to volunteer for this amazing organization, that was started in our very own Sebastopol! Every Monday at 3:30 a dedicated group of teens, both boys and girls, gather at the Village Park Garden in Sebastopol to plant, turn beds, weed, harvest, and to give back to the community around us. This spring break Analy GSE is traveling to Panama, where we will strive to help reforest the Manabí reserve in Panama’s rain forest. Not only with we be planting, but we will be making international partnerships and learning about the diverse culture and people of Panama. We will be working side by side with other high school students who we share common ground with. When I return I will have a better understanding of the devotion people have across the world to make a change and hopefully I’ll pick up on some Spanish. A donation of any kind would be greatly appreciated. The total trip costs 2,889.00 dollars.

Volunteer Activity Message

TRAVEL.
Traveling with GSE involves everything from visiting a native bird sanctuary to hiking along Ecuador’s beautiful coastline. Students enjoy authentic Ecuadorian cuisine and collaborate on local projects with their international peers.

LEARN.
GSE uses hands-on service-learning projects and cultural exchanges to provide students with life changing learning opportunities. Students develop ecological literacy and participate in grassroots international relations while building crucial 21st century skills such as communication and collaboration.

IMPACT.
Each year during exchange programs, students plant 5,000 native trees in La Punta Gorda Preserve. Students also work along side their Ecuadorian peers at Fanny de Baird High School to further develop their school garden. The garden provides produce for the school community and offers an interactive education on local food systems and organic farming.

GROW.
Plants aren’t the only things that grow! International travel facilitates profound transformation for students. Students leave the trip with a better understanding of different cultures and people, inspiring them to become change makers and leaders in their own community.
