Hands Up Holidays Launches Hands Up School Trips

New York, NY – Award-winning luxury family voluntourism provider Hands Up Holidays has launched Hands Up School Trips, a service that helps teachers and school administrators plan enriching trips for their students.  Each tailor-made Hands Up School Trips itinerary is designed to cover a curriculum, provide experiential learning opportunities, and to offer cultural immersion and a chance for students to give back to the local community through fulfilling volunteer activities.  Itineraries are available in over 30 destinations on five continents, including the USA, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Belize, Hungary, Italy, Vietnam, Malawi, India, Morocco, South Africa,  Kenya, Thailand and Australia.

Students can engage in activities ranging from building homes for needy families in Guatemala, feeding the homeless in Italy, or helping Nepalese communities rebuild after the 2015 earthquake.  Through their involvement in a building project or wildlife conservation initiative, students who participate in Hands Up School Trips return to the classroom more engaged with their studies, inspired by what they have accomplished, and better equipped for a global workplace.

"For over 10 years we've provided meaningful luxury voluntourism experiences for families around the world," said Hands Up School Trips founder Christopher Hill.  "We are thrilled to now be able to offer trips for American and Canadian school groups.  Our goal with Hands Up School Trips is to help develop the next generation of leaders, equipping them with cultural awareness, compassion, and confidence so that they can make a difference and be the change."
