The program combines a half-time internship in a non-profit agency with a seminar that probes issues of community participation for social change.

Students stay with host families in Quito, and the group takes several field trips outside of the city to explore innovative social change efforts in other parts of the country.
Highlights:
Internships are chosen that connect with the program themes. Many opportunities are available for students from all majors. Students work in environmental programs, socio-economic development, women's health education, child and youth outreach, and many other types of projects, contributing to the ongoing work of the agency and learning an immense amount from colleagues and community people.
