These are the MEDLIFE Service Learning Trips we're organizing with our community partners next.
Join MEDLIFE for a Service Learning Trip in Latin America or Africa, working alongside local communities and partner organizations leading the fight for equal access to healthcare, education, and safe housing. It's a chance to lead with purpose — learning from community leaders, contributing to work they've defined as priorities, and growing through real collaboration, not a one-way "help" dynamic.
Are you a student whose school does not have a MEDLIFE Chapter? You may be eligible for a trip scholarship to Lima, Peru. Apply here!
Hear from volunteers who have already been in the field with MEDLIFE.

“I would say do it 100%. Don't think about it, just do it. Trust me, you will meet people, you will get along with people, and you will learn so much. There hasn't been an experience like this where I've learned so much.”

Student at University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez

“I think every high school student should have an experience like this — it's transformational. One of our students said it best: we never saw folks who were sad. They were always smiling, always grateful. High school students need to see that.”
Randy
Professor at South Carolina Governor's School

“Education is one of our most important tools to create sustainable global health. Here in the SLTs, we prioritize educating communities about diseases they might be facing, so people can take the proper precautions to care for their health.”

“I'm very grateful for what I have, and I want to give back to the people who might not be as fortunate. That's what this trip has pushed me toward — continuing to give back relentlessly.”
Evan
Student at Creighton University

Extend your trip before or after your SLT with your friends, chapter, or family, or add a Saturday experience on Day 8.
