Summer of Service is now Students of Service!
Students of Service (SOS) develops young leaders who have a global perspective to solve local problems.
Our programs combine meaningful local community service with informed international experiences.
We see a world in which all young people - no matter their background - believe in their power to make a positive difference in their communities and around the world.

Check out what we've been up to!
Our first trip was in 2014 to Peru. We explored Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley. Students came back transformed, and that grew a movement in our community to bring a global perspective to our students.
