Taking Service Global
The MU Office of Service-Learning Global Internship and Service programs offers students the opportunity to:
- Engage with local communities abroad in meaningful ways
- Use what you learn in the classroom to make meaningful contributions to communities abroad
- Meet genuine needs of your host country
Global Service Programs combine academic studies, community engagement, and immersion in another culture to give students deep, meaningful international experiences. Through partnerships with local community organizations and schools, students engage with members of their host country through sustained service activities, benefiting the local communities and fulfilling critical human and environmental needs.
These programs are interdisciplinary in nature, allowing students from a variety of academic majors to participate. Service may involve teaching, health education and outreach, community development, environmental projects, business development, tourism, construction, or a variety of other activities that contribute to the well-being of individuals, communities, and nations where the MU students serve.
