Volunteering abroad

 

“United Planet provided our students with amazing service learning projects, and opportunities to serve together in a manner that students could share from cultural and practical knowledge and experience… We believe that any institution working with United Planet will find it to be a pleasurable and worthwhile endeavor.” —Katherine Jackson, Ph.D., ATR-BC, Associate Professor, Counseling & Art Therapy, Ursuline College

 

“It was clear to see that my students developed a sense of ownership and pride in their work by being able to produce tangible outcomes that these organizations needed. [United Planet] program students left this experience understanding that their summer volunteer work will aid them in their college applications, but more importantly, allowed them to develop and fine tune skills that they already had and can be applied in many work settings.”Marilyne Tamayo, USC Upward Bound Program Coordinator

Business Partnerships

United Planet’s partnerships extend far and wide, across a diverse range of programs. In addition to providing corporate leadership development opportunities, abroad and virtually, United Planet works with businesses to provide service opportunities to employees, training around Global Citizenship and cultural competence, and welcomes affinity partnerships that allow for mutual visibility and engagement across our organizations. United Planet is also searching for business partners interested in sponsoring scholarships for underrepresented groups to join virtual and international service programs. Nonprofit and corporate partnerships provide powerful synergies for positive change within local and global communities.
