Serena from Operation Groundswell here. I just left you a voicemail regarding our international service learning programs and wanted to follow up with more information. Our goal is to facilitate service-learning programs abroad that combine critical learning, cross-cultural dialogue, and community service.
We’ve just received funding to provide bursaries that all students are eligible for and was hoping this is something you could share with your students. Our deadline is coming up on December 18 and it only takes 15-20 minutes to apply.
I also wanted to quickly mention that we can also work with you or your department on custom programming suited to your needs and curriculum. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to let me know and I’d be happy to provide more information.
In the meantime, you’ll find more details on our programs below. If you’re able to forward this to your students, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much,
Serena
