Global Student Embassy

University of Arizona's Global Student Embassy invites you to travel to Boaco, Nicaragua. Sow seeds and dig in the dirt alongside local environmentalists as we develop sustainable agriculture projects at a non-profit clinic outside of Boaco, and spend tranquil evenings listing to the howlers from the ranch hotel. Finish up the trip with a few days relaxing at a volcanic crater lake called Laguna de Apoyo, or at famous Playa Gigante on Nicaragua’s Gold Coast. This is the birth of a youth environmental and public health movement, where students develop technical skills and the drive to change the world.

Interest Meetings:
