The first part of the course begins at our Michigan campus. Here you will join your other team members and begin your development instructor training. This unique learning and research opportunity will bring together a diverse and vibrant group of people all interested in development and humanitarian work. This is where you begin your Volunteer Abroad Career to make a difference to communities far and wide.
Studies will include global affairs, politics, and economic development. Using different source of expression including report writing, essays, and speeches – participants will be encouraged to debate and formulate their own conclusions. Participants will also use this time to fundraise for their training and travels.
PROJECT PERIOD | 6 MONTHS
Once participants are equipped with all the knowledge needed, they will embark on the next stage of the journey. Participants will be placed in a project in either Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Brazil or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Projects in the respective countries will include farming work, education, and health. Participants will join a range of activities, including engaging with local farmers to increase food production; starting sustainable and incomegenerating projects; training teachers, and setting up pre-schools.
The projects work with children, parents, farmers, teachers, local leaders, national governments, and international partners to tackle the root causes of poverty and build sustainable and thriving communities.
CONCLUSION PERIOD | 6 MONTHS
The participants will return to the Michigan campus to reflect on their experiences. This final stage of the cycle allows students to share their findings and evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the work they’ve done in the field.
As they prepare and explore their options for the next step in their personal journey, they will be equipped with the sustainable leadership and development tools they’ve gained to confidently move toward a future they feel embodies the person they’ve become.
