Summer is one of the most convenient times to study or intern abroad. For students with busy schedules during the school year, the summer break is a fantastic time to slow down, enjoy the vistas of a beautiful country and work towards your education or career. Summer study abroad programs allow students to earn some extra credits within their field of study or explore other subjects while creating new international relationships. A World Endeavors Summer Internship helps students gain valuable work experience in a refreshing global environment.
Embark on an educational adventure abroad this summer. Studying abroad with World Endeavors this summer will enable you to add an international course (or courses) to your current degree. Our mission is to see students blossom abroad by learning to live and adapt to an unfamiliar environment while gaining a fresh perspective on your degree that you wouldn’t get by taking courses in your home country. Students will also develop essential life and career skills such as cultural awareness, foreign language proficiency, and improved communication. While summer programs are shorter in length from 1-3 months, the course load is lighter, freeing you up for more exploration and acclimation to your new environment.
Interning abroad with World Endeavors is a way to get experience and an international perspective on a potential career field, all while having the adventure of living abroad. Much more than a summer job, an internship offers the chance to learn new skills and acquire a depth of experience that participants can carry into the next semester’s studies or into a job search.
Use your vacation, gap year, or summer break to volunteer abroad, give back to communities in need, and experience beautiful locations around the world.
World Endeavors volunteer programs are now operated by our sister company, Kaya Responsible Travel. If you’re interested in a volunteer project we encourage you to visit the Kaya Responsible Travel website and apply to a program there.
If you are a student of the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, please visit our page that displays all available volunteer programs exclusively for UCSC students.
