What kind of student chooses a Community Service program?
Our Community Service programs are based in small, rural communities in developing countries. Students focus on community service work on weekdays, and travel with the group to local areas of interest on weekends. Students who participate in community service programs need to be enthusiastic about lending a hand (which often involves getting dirty and sweaty!) and living in a community very different from what they are used to at home. Students who are energetic, open to new experiences, and genuinely interested in helping do best on community service programs. Students generally work 5 to 6 hours a day on weekdays.
