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 (LEAD 489: Seminar in international service learning) to prepare for their summer abroad trip. Students will explore topics of privilege, global inequality, ethical service, structural violence culture and more.
On site, student teams will focus on unique projects which will include topics such as education, environmental sustainability, youth development, community health and more.
Applications to travel in summer 2022 are due Nov. 17, 2021. Learn more and apply online. For questions, email intlteam@ksu.edu.
*As always, student and partner safety are our highest priority. With this is mind, the final site and travel destinations for the 2022 team will be announced at a later date.
