"I learned more about the world and myself in those four months than I ever thought was possible. I absorbed the culture through the language, volunteering, the food, people, and utterly breathtaking geography. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget." -- Kyle S.
IPSL programs are founded on international partnerships that eliminate boundaries between academia and society, and intentionally attune students’ learning experiences to the challenges and opportunities of today’s world. Their unique educational environment is characterized by intellectual rigor through scholarship, service and practice, openness, reciprocity, creativity, the desire to make a positive difference, and the skills and determination for empowerment.
Since 1981, IPSL has facilitated over 471,000 volunteer hours in our partner communities, supported the work of hundreds of nonprofits and NGOs around the world. IPSL reinvests, on average, 83% of their annual revenues directly back into the communities where they learn and serve.
Make a difference with your time abroad. IPSL is small by choice, impactful by nature and culturally sensitive by necessity. Join them on your journey...
