Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Mexico Environmental Service and Leadership Trip with Westtown
Westtown School is offering its annual environmental service leadership program in Mexico during the summer of 2014 and still has some openings! In recent years, this trip has generated a rich exchange of ideas among students from Sidwell, Wilmington, Westtown and Oakwood Friends Schools, Haverford, Guilford and Dickinson colleges – and others! The experience has led many students to discover a new and enduring sense of calling. Check out the application and download a flyer to share!
