Global Crossroad has added a new destination to its roster
of programs. Panama is Global Crossroad’s newest volunteer tourism site,
offering projects related to education, conservation, and youth advocacy. With
its diverse wildlife, pristine beaches, and breath-taking landscapes, Panama is
an ideal country for meaningful travel.
Volunteers have their choice of five different projects.
Teaching English and helping at-risk children are two options offered at an
orphanage near the capital city. Those interested in animal and environmental
conservation have their choice of two projects located on the coast of the
Azuero Peninsula. Spend your time on a black sand beach helping with sea turtle
protection and awareness and maybe even learning how to surf. Or head to an
island to fish with the locals, reforest the coastal mangroves, and set up a
protected sea turtle nesting area. For those interested in the medical field,
Global Crossroad also offers a project in family health. Volunteers will help
run the youth group focused on advocating HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention for
young people. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to help in the health
clinic and with teen counseling.
