In addition to building in-person and virtual international service programs for universities and high schools, United Planet supports students looking for international experiences and internship opportunities for degree requirements, equips staff and faculty to design and implement safe, strong, and ethical international service learning programs, and works with educational organizations to provide accessible, cross-cultural service opportunities for underrepresented student groups. No matter where you are in building out international service opportunities for your students, we can support you!
“United Planet provided our students with amazing service learning projects, and opportunities to serve together in a manner that students could share from cultural and practical knowledge and experience… We believe that any institution working with United Planet will find it to be a pleasurable and worthwhile endeavor.” —Katherine Jackson, Ph.D., ATR-BC, Associate Professor, Counseling & Art Therapy, Ursuline College
“It was clear to see that my students developed a sense of ownership and pride in their work by being able to produce tangible outcomes that these organizations needed. [United Planet] program students left this experience understanding that their summer volunteer work will aid them in their college applications, but more importantly, allowed them to develop and fine tune skills that they already had and can be applied in many work settings.”—Marilyne Tamayo, USC Upward Bound Program Coordinator
