Honduras Details
Honduras is known for its natural beauty and relaxed pace of life, combined with thousands of years of history and a promising future. It has the world’s second-largest barrier reef, dazzling Caribbean islands, colonial-style towns, and a mountain interior on the west. Considered one of Latin America’s best-kept secrets, Honduras is world famous for its archeological sites, including 3,000-year-old Mayan ruins and the mysterious rediscovered city of Copán. But you will discover other wealth: the people. They will want to get to know you and will invite you to stay and share their home or a meal. Honduran cuisine is as varied as each region has its own unique culinary dishes (from seafood to fried plátanos, frijoles, and tortillas, and a wide variety of colorful tropical fruits). This means you’ll learn quickly that sharing mealtimes with your family is an important part of daily life. And you’ll come to recognize the beautiful flag that can be seen in Independence parades, local celebrations or carnivals, and soccer games.
18+ Community Service Semester Program
This program gives you the opportunity to share in and contribute to the life of a community in Honduras by living and working alongside its members in a community-based service organization. Past participants worked in suburban or rural communities for social and environmental organizations. Participants are placed according to their abilities and interests while respecting the needs of the hosting organizations. You will have an arrival orientation, where you will meet your host family, and Mid-Term and End-of-Stay Orientations for participants. There will also be 40 hours of Spanish lessons.
