Mac Serve: Global is an international, multi-week experience that occurs in May. It challenges participants to live in, learn about and critically evaluate issues in a host community. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their communities through service experience and reflection.
In May 2012 we will be traveling together to Urubamba, Peru to work and reside with our partner, Nexos Voluntarios. Work projects vary, but often involve build/construction projects in the local community. In addition to work projects, the week contains workshops and presentations from local leaders, artisans, activists and professors. Trip also includes social, cultural and historical activities such as a visit to Machu Picchu.
Please note applications close January 12, 2012.

‘This program has helped me keep an open mind and be more of an observer. Being immersed in a different culture or society really forces you to rethink and re-evaluate your own way of being.’
