The Center for Education in Action (EIA) is excited to announce the doubling of funds to support unpaid summer internships, self-designed projects, and service experiences, local, national, and international. Internships are a great way to explore a career interest, connect to academic work, or pursue a deep personal interest. Come to this session to learn about the newly revised application process, more flexible deadlines (now 3, not just 1) and also hear from students who benefited from funds last year.

World Camp, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children and communities around the world through education. The organization carries out its mission through a strong base of motivated interns who commit five weeks to travel and teach in rural primary schools about issues such as HIV/AIDS, environmental conservation, and gender equality. In 2001 World Camp, Inc. began working in Malawi, Africa and has since expanded its outreach to Tela, Honduras and Ahmedabad, India. Since World Camp’s founding, over 300 volunteers have educated nearly 40,000 students on 3 continents.

We have found that our most rewarding travel experiences come from being active members of a community rather than passive tourists. For this reason, Walking Tree specializes in programs that integrate travelers into communities around the world where they will work to complete meaningful community service while living with local families. Our programs are designed for a proactive, select group of travelers who are not looking for the typical tourist trip, but rather an opportunity to interact with another culture while forming relationships that can continue long after they return home.
