Cayo gets quite a few student groups throughout the year. Whether it be with the Institute for Sustainable International Studies or the Toucan Education Program, or self led, they get to enjoy Cayo. The Belize Zoo gets a great mention in this article too, as does Cornerstone.
"During this past summer's Belize Teacher Institute, Belizean and U.S. teachers explored the Xunantunich Maya ruins together... Through the College’s International Programs, individual students can arrange internships in human services, business, recreation, health, environmental preservation, archaeology, special education, wildlife preservation or other areas. Seven took the plunge between summer this past summer and next spring. Two students will be there in the spring. A business economics major will intern at Cotton Tree Lodge, a unique eco-lodge hidden in the jungles of southern Belize. Meanwhile, a community health major will experience hands-on learning at Cornerstone Foundation, a local agency that helps the community."

Job preparedness is an area of youth life that is being ignored atleast certain ones of them. As they are kicked out of school all together or are pushed thru the public schools system among other and allowed to graduate from high school and is not on the proper grade level nor prepared to nor have the educational skills or capability to but there are other provisions that most consider but as youth see as shameful because not being able to read or utilize their own fundings and having to go into another source of assistance to learn to read at a level they would be job readiness prepared and having the math skills to account and budget their fundings but now as and older than school age adult but much younger than thosd that are of older years in age that because they were born and lived during the years person such as themselves were not allowed to be provided public school education or they had to work as the children of share croppers for their families way of life and survival income. But truth be told they are more locked out of the job prepared readiness skills.
