QUEST Trip to El Paso

Over spring break, 15 WFS upper school students traveled to El Paso, Texas, to take part in a QUEST service learning trip.
 QUEST Term Service/Leadership Trips engage students in an experiential learning model to increase their understanding of global issues as well as strategies to mitigate the impact of these challenges.

While in El Paso, students worked with and heard from immigrants about their experiences and the impacts immigration has had on them as refugees and their families. They witnessed immigration proceedings at Las Cruces courthouse, volunteered at a hospitality center for asylum seekers, and met with customs and border protection agents. They learned about the Tigua Native American Tribe and explored White Sands National Park.
