Summer Opportunities Abroad with BAIDO Member NGOs
BAIDO member organizations conduct worldwide programs in the areas of economics, education, the environment, health and human rights. Many member NGOs offer summer programs for individuals to translate their interest into rewarding international experiences. Participants in most cases travel, work, and learn alongside BAIDO member organizational staff or their international partners.
One of these opportunities could be the perfect fit for an internationally minded person—a student looking to assist with a development project, a professional seeking a special environment to utilize their skills, or any person wishing to broaden their perspective by traveling abroad.
Please contact individual NGOs for specific information, and keep in mind many programs run on an ongoing basis.
