Study Abroad with Amizade

Program Provider Description

Amizade Global Service-Learning has been empowering individuals and communities through worldwide service and learning since 1994. Over 4,500 individuals have served with local community leaders in 9 countries on 4 continents with 11 partnerships. From working with women and girls on rainwater harvesting initiatives in rural Tanzania to running at-risk youth camps in Jamaica, Amizade volunteers have transformed and been transformed.

We give people the chance to make a difference through community-driven volunteer programs and service-learning courses for university credit. Our service-learning courses will be unlike any course you’ve ever experienced. They includes all of the traditional learning that occur in any classroom and then deepens it, catalyzes it, and contextualizes it by connecting you and your professor with the local people, place, and issues that you’ve been reading about.
