Put your French skills to the test as you work with and support the local community through meaningful service. You’ll work in conjunction with community leaders to make city beautification projects a reality – building benches, installing recycling bins, carrying out beach clean-ups and sprucing up are much-needed in the city’s many outdoor spaces. Build cross-cultural relationships with local children and teens at a nearby camp where you’ll facilitate language exchange games and activities. Through this work you’ll be sure to improve your French and get to know your new home.

Guadeloupe is dotted with old plantations and colonial homes, while local markets burst with color and activity. Hike through the rainforest to a breathtaking waterfall and you’ll be rewarded for your hard work with an opportunity to swim in the natural river pools near the falls. Snorkel in the crystal clear waters off the island’s coast for a front-row seat in the observation of fish and other ocean life. And don’t forget that you’ll be furthering your French immersion each day of your adventure throughout Guadeloupe, as you interact with local speakers in this close-knit Caribbean community.
