Peregrine International is a local and international service learning
community. This community has several purposes:
- To provide a “classroom without walls” for youth interested
in applied and service learning focused on the solving of real community
environmental and/or social justice problems.
- To provide classes which augment classroom based, theoretical learning
with hands-on, community based exploration.
- To provide international service learning opportunities for youth,
families, teachers, and other interested parties.
Many Peregrine International projects involve a course of study at the
Peregrine Center which culminates in service projects in Yolo County
and/or in an international setting. For example, the first Peregrine
International project will involve a high school service learning course
in solar energy, which includes experimentation in building solar ovens
followed by teaching solar energy to school children, and culminates
in a summer trip to Nicaragua to assist in a solar community.
Peregrine International is a part of the Peregrine Project, a private
nonprofit corporation.
