Journalism Volunteering in Multiple Countries

Pulling the best of all our programming, Latitudes is a sequential, growth-oriented experience for students looking to see the landscape before diving deeper. It is an immersive gap year experience combining a group travel semester and an individual volunteer placement. As a Latitudes student, you’ll spend your first semester traveling on one of our group semesters. During your second semester, you’ll have the opportunity to deepen your educational experience with an independent Focused Volunteer Placement (FVP). For your second semester, you'll work with our team to identify a specific organization and community that reflects your unique interests and develop meaningful relationships with your host community. Along the way, you’ll develop confidence and independence, and enrich your worldview. Previous placements have included SCUBA certification and protecting coral reefs in Southern Thailand, working with wildlife in Belize, participating in conservation efforts in Guatemala, or doing farm work in Italy. College credit is included, as well as international health and evacuation insurance, and a virtual pre-departure orientation.
