service in developing countries
The future of international development organizations on American university campuses will be the focus of a summit being held at Yale Friday-Sunday, April 9-11.
The event, the first of its kind, was organized by Reach Out: The Yale College Partnership for International Service.
Representatives from student-run organizations across the country dedicated to providing undergraduates with opportunities to learn about, travel to or work in the developing world will gather for the summit. They will have the opportunity to learn about each others' initiatives, share ideas, participate in panel discussions about development and service, and develop future goals, including the creation of an online network.
The fee for the summit is $10 per person; $5 for Yale students, with the expectation that students will house conference guests. For further information, contact sarah.moros@yale.edu or adam.barth@yale.edu.
Reach Out: The Yale College Partnership for International Service seeks to provide students with opportunities to learn about, travel to and engage in hands-on work in developing countries. Last summer, with funding from the President's Office, Reach Out sponsored fellowships that sent 10 students overseas to work with non-profit organizations in such countries as India and Guatemala. This year, the group organized Spring Break Service Learning Trips to four developing countries -- Cuba, Brazil, Honduras and Nicaragua -- and plans to sponsor campus activities on international themes. Group members are also working to raise awareness among Yale students about the need for global accountability, understanding and cooperation, and to promote curriculum development on international affairs. The Reach Out website (www.yale.edu/reachout) provides a database of international service opportunities for students.
