DIRECTED RESEARCH With the help of a faculty guide, you will create a research project that will serve as a tangible and meaningful product that showcases your commitment to your academic topic. STUDENT TEACHING As a future educator, you will encounter an increasingly diverse student population in the classroom. Showcase your ability to work with students from different cultures by conducting student teaching in a global setting. COMMUNITY-BASED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES Community-based learning opportunities carry academic credit while providing a chance for active involvement in your host community. Placements are possible in NGOs, nonprofits, community organizations, schools, and government agencies. VOLUNTEER Give back to your adopted community abroad through meaningful work as a volunteer. Opportunities are available in a wide variety of interests, with activities ranging from a single-day project to a commitment for an entire semester. JOIN A COMMUNITY Wondering how you might make friends and actually feel like a local? Every IFSA program gives students the opportunity to engage in a community of their choosing. Whether through an on-campus club or a group based in the wider host community, IFSA programs facilitate true integration with the culture. EXAMINE COMMUNITY IDENTITY Our exclusive Exploring Community & Culture™ (C&C) class offers you the opportunity to experience your host city in a way most visitors never can. This 3-credit option fosters intercultural dialogue and a greater understanding of global society. Some programs offer an on-site class, while students in other locations can join a global cohort of other IFSA students worldwide by taking the class online. Using your host city as your laboratory, you will experience and examine cultural and personal identity. 7 YOU BELONG HERE Where you come from is just as important as where you’re going. With IFSA, you’ll be part of a community with a shared sense of belonging that persists beyond your time abroad. In a world where opportunity is not evenly distributed, we’ve tailored everything we do, from financial aid to advising, so people of all communities, identities, and abilities can navigate a future where one size doesn’t fit all.
