The Global Development Internship (GDI) aims to provide college students development experience, cultural immersion, and the necessary leadership skills to develop sustainable projects. The Global Development Fellowship (GDF) allows GDI alumni to maintain a project initiated during their internship and further develop the project. Projects are researched and developed during students' internship. Check out our current projects here. We currently work in South Africa and Kenya. During 2009 we will be identifying two new communities to host the Global Development Program. Invite your friends to become members! Click here. |
