Make the most of your summer by interning or volunteering abroad. Build your resume, earn credits in a new location, or give back to communities in need.
Why choose World Endeavors for your summer internship or voluneer program?
Summer is one of the most convenient times to study, intern, or volunteer abroad. For students with busy schedules during the school year, the summer break is a fantastic opportunity to earn some extra credits within their field of study or explore other subjects. A summer internship helps students gain valuable work experience without taking time away from their studies, and our summer volunteering programs are a great way to contribute time to helping others while gaining international experience.
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.
Volunteering abroad is a fantastic way to put the summer break to good use helping others. World Endeavors Volunteer Abroad programs give participants from many backgrounds and levels of experience the chance to lend a hand where it is most needed. These programs can alter participants’ perspectives on the world and inspire in them a new sense of the difference they can make. Our Volunteering programs have flexible start times and can be as short as one to two weeks, so they can fit into anyone’s summer break plans.
