Volunteer with WUSC: Students Without Borders™

Students Without Borders™ (SWB) is a WUSC initiative that offers university and college students exciting volunteer learning opportunities in Africa, Asia or South America during an academic term.

Join more than 350 students who participated in the Students Without Borders™ program since 2005! 

Take the Challenge
Placements with WUSC's development partners in the South let you grow and experience new cultures while applying your classroom knowledge and theory to "real life" international development projects. And in many cases, you can earn academic credits at the same time.

You'll also come away with new abilities that are valued in the workplace: 

• A better understanding of global issues and perspectives.
• Increased cultural sensitivity and an appreciation of diversity.
• Willingness to accept new challenges.
• Improved interpersonal and communication skills.
• A new level of maturity and independence.
• Confidence in your capacity as an individual to effect change.
