We’re re-imagining Service Learning.

We specialize in crafting relevant service trips for academic cohorts, church missions, and other socially minded citizens. Our aim is to provide transformative experiences for participants through cultural exchange and community-building projects. Our programming is driven by listening to the communities we serve with and responding to their needs.

Misfit Missionaries

During this trip, the Misfit Missionaries will immerse themselves in the rich Mayan culture while dedicating a week to supporting families in remote communities of the Guatemalan highlands. Together, we’ll help construct stoves for families who have been relocated from disaster-prone areas, contributing to safer living conditions. Additionally, we’ll assist in the development of the local elementary school, fostering a brighter future for the community. To round out the experience, we’ll explore breathtaking destinations such as Panajachel and Antigua Guatemala, blending meaningful service with unforgettable moments.
