International Service Teams
International Service Teams is a service-learning program of interdisciplinary teams of Kansas State University students who serve in communities around the world during the summer break. International Service Teams students work with international partners to plan and implement service projects during an eight to ten week stay in their international country. Over the past 21 years, International Service Teams has served in communities worldwide through the development of service-learning initiatives based on specific community identified needs. Previous projects have focused on health, education, environmental and sustainability concerns, and youth development. Service team members gain leadership experience and develop an appreciation for unique cultures and perspectives during their spring semester and summer of service.
"When we first arrived, we were able to connect with the kids by playing with them
but after we learned more of the language and more about their life stories, we were
able to form even closer relationships and a better understanding of their needs."
Jordan Fief served in Jacunda, Brazil during summer 2011.
