Work, Internship,
and Volunteer Opportunities Abroad
Working, interning, volunteering, or teaching can provide an alternative to study abroad or complement the study abroad experience. If you intend to work following study abroad, it is crucial to determine the visa regulations
of your host country at the outset since a student visa might not permit
you to work.
There are many organizations offering work, internship, and volunteer
opportunities abroad.
- Transitions Abroad, an
on-line and paper publication, is a good clearinghouse for work, teaching,
and volunteer opportunities abroad.
- The University
of Michigan International Center, the Center
for Global Education, and UC Irvine provide
good advice on working, teaching, and volunteering abroad as well as
listings of opportunities.
- Cross-Cultural Solutions
and Volunteer-World offer 1-12 week community development programs around the world.
- Proworld offers short and long term volunteer opportunities in Mexico, Belize, Peru, Brazil, India, Thailand and Ghana.
- Arcadia University's Center for Global Studies offers legislative internship opportunities (not for Bates credit) in Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
- CIEE offers teaching opportunities for recent graduates in Chile, China, the Dominican Republic, South Korea, Spain, and Thailand
