Connect across cultures, make a difference, and earn academic credits through global service-learning...

The Amizade Global Service-Learning Consortium is available to WVU students through a partnership between the WVU Office of International Programs, the WVU Center for Civic Engagement, and the Amizade organization. Service-learning is an educational approach that integrates service with local community organizations and studies of related topics and disciplines. It is a way to see many, diverse parts of communities around the world and to form connections with local people. Service projects are chosen in cooperation with community representatives, and have included everything from teaching children in Jamaica to building schools in Bolivia and working with Holocaust survivor communities in Poland or Germany.

Credits are granted directly through WVU and students who qualify for federal financial aid, student loans, and WVU Scholarships may use these funds toward the cost of their program.
