Student Development,
Global Citizenship
With a strong educational component, we are dedicated both to raising awareness of Haitian culture and society in the US and elsewhere, and to providing a hands-on, practical education in global citizenship.
The VHP leadership retreats are the training grounds for student leadership in VHP. They provide VHP’s student leaders with the opportunity to reflect on their work in Haiti, our priorities as an organization, and their personal goals. The purpose and commitment of these retreats are to make sure the leadership body is getting as much value and useful learning out of their VHP leadership experience as the value, energy, and time they are giving to VHP. We intend that this leadership training not only prepares them for their work in VHP but becomes a potent force in their development as leaders in life.
