Driven by connection, Project Alianza trips bring together diverse people with shared values to experience travel beyond tourism. You’ll leave changed and empowered with a new community of fellow adventurers.
Alianza values connection beyond voluntourism. The villages where we work do not need tourists to perform labor on-site. Instead, we do collaborative projects like painting murals, decorating schools, or planting gardens coordinated by local communities.
Being apart of the trip was such a rewarding experience. It allowed me to visit places and meet people that I never thought was possible.

Having grown up in a family and country where education is an expectation, it was humbling to see and interact with young boys and girls, who without Alianza, would not be receiving an education.

Having the opportunity to spend time with the local team of leaders and educators, meet and spend time with the children, and having the privilege of experiencing the beauty of Nicaragua at ground level gave us a whole new world of perspective.
