The Our Lady of Good Counsel El Salvador trip is an international service learning program that has been running since 2009. Partnering with Building Futures Project, senior students serve the disadvantaged in the impoverished neighborhoods of Las Delicias and Ciudad Arce in San Salvador. Service work includes construction projects, house visits, working in a daycare center, serving those who are food insecure, and more. This program has grown to include a separate service trip for alumni.
Participation Process:
- Junior students may apply to attend the El Salvador service trip, which will take place during their senior year. There are typically more applicants than there are spaces on the trip.
- Selected students are then assigned to one of two, week-long, annual trips: One group travels in the summer after junior year and the other in January during senior year.
- Students who are juniors during the 2024-2025 school year may apply in October of 2024 for the trips scheduled in June 2025 or January 2026.
