Any of the community service projects that we undertake are in collaboration with already established local organizations, making them very real and very needed. They range from human to environmental based, and most of our programs incorporate a combination of the two. This, in turn, leads to a rewarding experience for all involved. Each location offers something unique, both in the community service projects that we undertake as well as in the cultures within which we become immersed. AQ offers a range of international community service options in the British Virgin Islands, Galapagos and Australia.

The BVI is home to miles of coral reefs and in collaboration with the Marine Parks Authority and the Department of Conservation, we will work together as a crew to help to protect the more sensitive reefs and their wildlife. |

Along with diving the Great Barrier Reef, sailing the Whitsunday Islands, and touring the Sydney Opera House, our Australian explorers still find time to give a little back, by helping indigenous landowners restore damaged habitats. |

In the Galapagos Archipelago, we'll spend time with the National Parks Rangers to help remove invasive plant species and we'll also visit with children in schools and community centers to run programs, play games, and make crafts. |
Whether participating in a turtle tagging and release project in the BVI, removing non-native species from Aboriginal land in Australia or brightening a school with fresh paint in the Galapagos, the rewards are huge.
