LEARNING THROUGH EXPERIENCES
Community Purpose is a program we've developed over the years to offer schools hands-on learning experiences during the summer, along with the chance to join our annual Travel Project.
We offer these programs in partnership with our collaborators to support our work and help teens from the 'Building Pathways' program gain jobs and leadership skills that can transform their lives while creating a unique experience for any participant

DKYL’s Travel projects are unique 12-day travel experiences that deepen cultural understanding and encourage global service participation.
Travel Projects have two components: learning and service. First, students undergo an intense outdoor training program in unfamiliar locations. Second, they engage in impactful social work projects.
This high-level impact experience allows students to contribute meaningfully to the community while gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, and better global understanding of their surroundings and society.
The program varies by the season, destination, and projects available based on community needs.
Travel project program runs only one time a year. Next travel experiences will be in 2026, 2027 and 2028
