The InterExchange Foundation supports young Americans with a passion for improving the world by participating in meaningful projects abroad. If you are passionate about helping communities abroad thrive and eager to learn about the local culture, submit an application for the next application deadline: March 15, July 15, and October 15. Fellows identify a project or an organization working on an issue they care about, and with the support of the Christianson Fellowship, contribute their skills and passion to that endeavor for at least six months on-location abroad. This intercultural experience is a meaningful way to help others, improve skills, and gain insight about another culture. Applicants must demonstrate interest in project topic and outline specific project goals and impact measurables; possess specific skill(s) to contribute to a community abroad; and be excited to learn about another culture and share one's own. The project must benefit the local community; must be sustainable; and must involve collaboration and interaction with local residents and community leaders. The Fellowship does not support religious projects, independent research projects, or academic study abroad programs. Projects must not be part of a degree requirement or for class credit.
