International Service Program

The International Service Program, sponsored by the Center for Service and Learning and partnering with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO's) abroad, provides CC students with annual international service opportunities. Students travel, learn, and live in a community abroad while working on projects that unite their host community in an effort towards greater sustainability. Applications are accepted during Block 5 for the half-block trip of the following year.
