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.
