The UI Family and Consumer Sciences Guatemala Service Trip is a learning experience organized by the non-profit organization Hearts in Motion (HIM) and Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) faculty at the University of Idaho. Students will take a late eight-week spring course (1 credit) to learn about the history, culture, and current issues facing Guatemala citizens and a summer course (1 credit) serving community members in Guatemala for 10 days. Students will provide workshops and support using skills they learn in FCS fields including early childhood development, early childhood education, human development and family studies, food and nutrition, apparel/textiles/design, and FCS teacher education. Students will also take part in making, collecting, and distributing reusable menstrual pads, diapers, and supplies to Guatemalans.
