Creating a Service Abroad Resource Base


 

Here are some tips for finding Bonner “champions” in terms of service abroad. With an expanded support network and resource base, it will be easier for you to encourage your Bonners to serve abroad and better facilitate the process. These steps were recommended from administrators in the network who have done it themselves.
 

Identify Key Campus Contacts

Directors who felt they had a working campus network of people helping to facilitate the service abroad process cited the following key individuals as their Bonner “champions” on international service. It may be useful to contact those in similar roles on your campus.
  •  Civic Engagement Center
  •  Career Development Center
  •  Counseling Services
  •  Study Abroad Office
  •  Faculty engaged in service-learning initiatives
  •  International Studies Department
  •  Foreign Languages Department
  •  Financial Aid Office
 

Contact Community Partners

It is possible that your local community partners have connections abroad or are part of global networks that may open doors for your students interested in serving abroad. Contact partners you think may have such connections.
 

Consider Academic Initiatives Abroad

Find out if there are courses on campus that involve trips abroad or do research about various international communities. By pairing up with professors or departments, you may be able to find new opportunities and ways to integrate service experiences with academic endeavors.
