2025 VV Project

The Voices of the Vulnerable (VV) Service Project is taking place in Spain in June 2024 in collaboration with the NGO, Soñar Despierto. This unique initiative offers students a chance to immerse themselves in impactful, hands-on service, engaging with local communities and making a genuine difference. Through the VV Project, we aim to redefine what it means to serve by guiding students to leverage their unique skills to uplift vulnerable populations.

Through this immersive experience, you’ll:

#1 Learn to Understand and Address Real Community Needs
Engage deeply with local communities, learning firsthand about their challenges and discovering effective ways to help.

#2 Apply Your Personal Talents to Drive Change
Use your unique strengths—whether academic, athletic, artistic, or leadership-based—to make a lasting impact.

#3 Develop Empathy and Social Responsibility
Build a meaningful connection with underserved communities, fostering a greater sense of empathy and social awareness.

#4 Gain Practical Leadership Experience
Take on leadership roles and gain skills that will prepare you for future projects and initiatives.

#5 Enhance Your College Application with Quality Service
Stand out by demonstrating your commitment to meaningful, authentic service.

#6 Connect with Like-Minded Peers
Form bonds with other passionate students who share your drive to create positive change
