Balanced Experience

Custom and faculty-led programs challenge participants to grow as individuals and as members of our global community. Your team works on a group project side-by-side with our host community.

Participants need no prior experience or specific skills, only a desire to help. By the end of each program, volunteers will gain skills in development work, leadership and cross-cultural communication.
