Service-Learning Opportunities

Intercultural Service-Learning Teams

We believe that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Intercultural Service-Learning Teams (ISLT) provide students with opportunities to learn about diverse cultures in the United States and abroad while also serving others. Locations where we serve and learn vary from year to year, but in each case, we strive to provide opportunities where students and leaders can learn collaborate with existing ministries or services that will stretch us to learn about people and their cultures and their personal, local, and national history as we seek to support ongoing local services. Teams may serve in the United States, working with inner city populations that lack housing, assisting school children with coursework, working alongside Indigenous People groups, and many other local and national opportunities. International teams may create opportunities for students in another country to practice conversational English, help with building projects, assist in providing for physical needs, among other things. In every case, we want students to learn about the people and places we visit, to support existing local efforts that will continue after we are gone, and to come back with a broader understanding of diverse cultures including the students’ own cultures.
