What We Offer:
We offer real-world learning through carefully designed experiences rooted in cultural immersion, service, and collaboration.
Students (Ages 15–22)
Our summer travel abroad programs are built for students who are ready to go deeper. Each trip blends immersive travel, hands-on service, and meaningful reflection. Participants step into real communities, take part in local projects, and grow through experience.
Students are challenged to think critically, lead with empathy, and see the world through new eyes. These aren’t tourist itineraries... these are transformational journeys that build global awareness, confidence, and lasting perspective.
Adults / Families
Our adult volunteer abroad programs are designed for people who want travel to be more than a vacation. Over the course of two weeks to three months, participants join community-based initiatives aligned with their skills and passions.
Whether your interest is in education, healthcare, language, or sustainable development, we match you with a program that fits you. You’ll contribute meaningfully while learning from the people around you and return with more insight than you arrived with.

Groups: Schools, Universities, Institutions
We create fully customized volunteering trips abroad for schools, nonprofits, colleges, families, and teams. Each itinerary is built from scratch to reflect your goals, whether that’s curriculum integration, personal development, service learning, or cultural exploration.
You tell us your timeframe, group size, and focus, and we’ll do the rest. These shared experiences are deeply collaborative, highly personal, and designed to leave a lasting mark on everyone involved.
Why Broken Earth?
Here’s how Broken Earth stand apart from typical a education tour company:
Responsible Travel
We don’t run drop-in programs. Every trip is built around mutual benefit and sustainability together with trusted community partners and long-term local collaborators.
Tailored Programs
No generic itineraries. Every experience is created with intention from program length and focus to pace and level of challenge.
Skilled Educators
All of our travel abroad programs are led by trained educators and cultural facilitators. These aren’t tour guides. They are mentors who help you get more out of the experience.
Immersion that Matters
You’ll live it, not just watch it. Our international volunteer programs are hands-on, engaging, and rooted in direct experience - through homestays, local collaborations, and language engagement.
Built on Relationships
We prioritize long-term connection between participants and communities, and within our team. Every trip is designed to foster trust, mutual respect, and real human bonds

"The program in India taught me how to appreciate another totally different culture from a distance, not to judge it or intervene in it. During this trip, I learned how to see the unique beauty in other cultures.
This ability is very important because it makes the world a more peaceful place."
