The Program:

Fresno State is partnering with Madventurer, an international service organization, to work on rural community development projects in Fiji and Tanzania. Students will work with local community members on construction, public health and youth service projects. These are multicultural, international, service-learning trips, with participants immersing themselves in local culture, food, village accommodations, and daily life in the host country. There will be opportunities for excursions, cultural immersion and adventure experiences.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Develop an understanding and a value of the importance of service and differing cultures
  • Acquire insight into the life of villagers in Tanzania and Fiji through cultural immersion experiences and activities
  • Learn about the best practices of global service and travel
