High School

The Discover Explore Learn Volunteer Enrich (DELVE) program is designed to give students service experiences that inspire them to become caring global citizens. DELVE aims to create an opportunity for students to have a meaningful and transferable learning experience where we construct understanding by developing and applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

This year’s DELVE trips were based in Thailand and ranged anywhere from day trips to weeklong trips. Students engaged in sustainable service and gained awareness of issues that transcend borders. They learned to understand the problems of poverty, indigenous peoples, and environmental degradation and preservation while simultaneously helping people. Students planned and worked together as teams, strengthening their teamwork for the common goal of a greater good.

Some of our most successful 2021-22 DELVE trips were:

• Habitat for Humanity: students spent the week on two house-building sites

• Wildlife Conservation and Service: students worked with local wildlife conservation organizations caring for the animals and comparing components of government-sponsored breeding programs to other conservation centers

• Food & Social Impact: students learned about food security and food poverty in Bangkok and Thailand from community partners and nonprofits working to solve the issue
