In this high school service program, settle into the bustling city of Chiang Rai in northern Thailand—known for its rich history and strong traditions, as you plan language lessons with your group and tutor Thai primary students in English. Then, spend two days in an ecolodge nestled in the mountain jungle, visit an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center, and cap your program in the cultural hub of Chiang Mai. 

Build connections with Thai students as you plan daily lessons and help them grow their English vocabulary. Immerse yourself in the classroom and local life, and learn to overcome language and cultural barriers through regular interactions with Thai teachers and students. At an elephant sanctuary, learn about local efforts to save these gentle giants and give them a better future.
