Quality of the Landmark Experience
Since 1992, Landmark has placed students in volunteer opportunities at some of the most important non-profit organizations across the country. No matter which program the student participates in, their experience will be a quality Landmark experience. In the field they will be:

  • Led by a Landmark Team Leader in charge of the group at all times, providing both a sense of direction and fun.
  • Supported by a Community Coordinator, a senior member of the local community, serving as a community resource.
  • Instructed by a member of the host organization, providing an inside look at the mission and workings of their organization.
