International Service/Service Learning

Welcome Travelers!

Our Center promotes student and faculty awareness of global and international issues through service learning courses, alternative breaks, and volunteer opportunities in countries throughout the world.  Students may enroll in current, faculty-developed international service learning courses, or they may study and serve by contacting international organizations that have programs in a particular country.

Interested?  Have an idea?
For more information on international opportunities, please contact the Center.

CNU in Seville, Spain offers several internships to work in Spain and gain credit while studying abroad through our own program. Internships are combined with a service learning course taught at the university we partner with in Spain. You can also do an internship and take a special topics course in Spanish or English with one of our CNU  faculty directing your journal and paper research while you are abroad.  The internships range from tutoring and ESL to working in an orphanage or homeless shelter.  Contact Prof. Ingrid Edery, Director of CNU in Spain, ingrid.edery@cnu.edu, MCM 331 for more information
