This exciting program on HIV/AIDS prevention and food security builds on the Global Service Corps’ 17 years of experience providing service-learning programs in East Africa. In this program, students will expand their own knowledge while at the same time helping to educate local community members in HIV/AIDS prevention and sustainable agriculture. This 15-week program involves six weeks of classroom training and nine weeks of field work. Students are eligible to receive credit for the program. A summer program is also available.

Two options are available – students may take four weeks of Spanish language and then work 8 weeks in an internship, or may simply do a 12-week internship. Note that high-intermediate Spanish ability is required for the 12-week internships, and two years of post-secondary instruction in Spanish is required for the language course + internship option.
