You will live in the moment, enjoy the richness of the natural world and know the pleasure of simple uncomplicated friendships. And you will return home with a greater appreciation of what it means to be a member of our global family. Not only will you work and live with local community members, but you will also visit cultural and natural places of beauty in the surrounding countryside and the nation's capitol. We offer placements of 2 months or more with community projects ranging from public schools to women's groups to organic gardens. GSC matches your interests and abilities to the needs of our partner organizations, then sets up both a volunteer job and a convenient living arrangement for you.
Placements can be extensions of short-term projects which provide orientation and training.
Students find these opportunities an exciting, enjoyable way to fulfill internship or independent study requirements. See each project description and the enclosed application policies form for more details.
