Yale Service Tours - Yale Alumni Travel Programs, Community Development, Volunteer Work

Every time I get the typical Yale Travel brochure, my reaction is the same.  These people do not get me.  At all.  I do not have three weeks to float down the Danube discussing German literature.  I do not have two weeks to cruise the Aegean Sea with a Yale professor who will explain everything to me.  And, even if I had that kind of time, I certainly can’t spend the $75,000 it would cost to take my family on such a trip.  These brochures make me nuts. 

A few months back, though, I received an e-mail about a different kind of Yale Travel program.  This one was interesting to me.  The Yale Service Tours are more manageable trips . . . with one this year scheduled for our kids’ Spring Break.  So, our son Tyler and I are going to give one of these trips a try.  I am excited about it.  And, nervous.  Mostly excited, though.  We’ve been assigned to the Education Team, which means we will be working in a school.  I will let you know how it goes.

  1. I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals. – David Attenborough Flights to Accra
