Learning Excursions

This Atlanta-based excursion is a unique learning experience for students who would like to participate in service projects. It will take place during school day hours, with the central location being our own GAC campus. This trip exposes students to multiple ministries and non-profits in our metro-Atlanta community, as well as different modalities and aspects of service. In the past, we have worked with a local elementary school, churches in downtown Atlanta, and even nonprofits owned by GAC Alumni. Students will also participate in team-building activities, such as a ropes course, and the trip will culminate with a fun outing to celebrate our service.

Students will have an opportunity to tour and explore various professions, private industries, and major corporations headquartered around the Atlanta metroplex. Site visits, private tours, interviews, and experiential learning activities will introduce students to numerous career possibilities and expand their understanding of how Atlanta-based industries are innovating for the future.
