The Small Planet Project

The Small Planet Project is a series of international travel programs for youth from across the United States to meet youth from around the world. Our summer programs explore the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the U.N. Millennium Development Goals.  Through a combination of excursions, community service projects, language immersion, team building, and thematic dialogues youth become global citizens.  Build friendships; enjoy the beauty of the natural world and the richness of its diverse cultures with a small community of young people interested in a sustainable future.
