Destination
France
Paris by day, real service with the city's refugee community by afternoon.
Why France
Paris is the core of Impact OG's language-immersion trip abroad: a week of practicing French in public spaces, restaurants, and shops, paired with real service work. Students visit Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and take a Bateaux Parisiens cruise on the Seine, walk the Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe, and spend an evening in Montmartre overlooking the Sacré-Cœur — plus a full day at Disneyland Paris. The service component runs through Serve the City, working alongside and engaging with Paris's refugee community in a structured, safe setting, with hours logged toward CAS. The group stays together at a four-star hotel — Hotel Mercure, Porte de Versailles Expo, or similar — in triple rooms with breakfast included.
