French Language and Volunteering

Overall rating: 0 based on 0 reviews

Program Description

The objective of this program is to further the development of values and skills outside the classroom and to link up theory and practice while being immersed in a significant component of French culture.

Institutions in Society Course

This course addresses crucial issues and obstacles in society and the manners in which French institutions redress these. Students will document and reflect on their volunteer experience by writing regular journal entries. In order to receive academic credit for this program, students are expected to write a final assignment. An on-site supervisor will oversee a final evaluation.

Placements

Student placements are initiated before the students’ arrival in Montpellier. Students normally work about 12 hours per week. Students are placed at sites that are consistent with their educational background, abilities and interests. At the first meeting with the supervisor, compatibility, responsibilities, students’ scheduling and other details are discussed. If the placement seems a good match, the student can begin the placement at the host’s earliest convenience.

Among placements are:

HEALTH CARE (hospitals, rehab centers)
LANGUAGE TUTORING (minority, disadvantaged groups, schools)
COMMUNITY SERVICE AGENCIES (shelter, retirement homes)
