International Service Teams (IST) is a program in the Staley School of Leadership Studies that has sent students around the world to engage in ethical service-learning work for 30 years. IST partners with community organizations in South Africa, The Gambia, Kenya and the Dominican Republic.
Participants will take an eight week, three credit hour course in the spring semester to prepare for their service abroad and explore topics of privilege, global inequality, ethical service, structural violence culture and more. Teams will focus on projects unique to their site which will include topics such as education, environmental sustainability, youth development, community health, and more.
As always, student and partner safety are our highest priority. With this is mind, the final site and travel destinations for 2022 team will be announced at a later date.
Join us Oct. 7, from 2:30 – 5 p.m. in Leadership Studies room 253 to learn more about International Service Teams, grab a snack and begin the application process!
Applications are due Nov. 17. Contact intlteam@ksu.edu for more information.
