Volunteer as
one of America's Unofficial Ambassadors through our 2015 Summer Service
Internship Program!
Make a difference in the
lives of others, gain professional experience, represent America, and earn
academic credit, all while having a life-changing experience in Indonesia, Morocco, Tajikistan, Turkey or Zanzibar.
As a summer service intern, you'll volunteer
full-time for six weeks with a non-governmental organization or school at the
grassroots-level in Asia, Africa, or the Middle East. Our NGO partners are
working in fields like human rights, women's empowerment, youth leadership,
public health and environmental conservation. Our school partners range from
public high schools in the winding alleys of Stonetown, Zanzibar to a one-room
village school the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
Unofficial ambassadors will intern as
communications officers, teachers, and camp counselors as they form the type of
people-to-people partnerships that are the future of international relations,
and specifically America's relationship with the Muslim World. They will study
the local language, learn about their host community's culture, and publish
on the America's Unofficial Ambassadors' blog. Upon returning home, unofficial ambassadors give presentations in their communities that represent their experience, the people they met, and what they built together.
