Service Learning and Volunteering
Service Learning and Volunteer opportunities abroad are excellent ways for students to develop intercultural skills, future job skills, and career competencies while meeting a need desired by the host community. There are a number of volunteer agencies/platforms students can utilize to find and connect to these opportunities.
