St. Lucia

SSW students have traveled to the Caribbean island of Lucia for a 7 to 10 day experiential learning opportunity. They worked with schools and community leaders to improve the quality of life for impoverished local children, to identify needs for future endeavors, and to build the social networks, social capital, and relationships necessary to develop ongoing efforts to reduce poverty. The trips have been held in May of each year.
