Interested in giving back to the local community while you study abroad? Explore our programs with a community-based learning option!

Our community-based learning programs (previously called service learning programs) combine coursework with volunteer work so you can immerse yourself into the local community while you develop professional and personal skills. From your part-time volunteer placement to the for-credit community-based learning seminar, you'll learn from international practices, make connections, improve your foreign language and communication skills, and more.

Learn more about the best places to volunteer abroad while studying abroad!
