Alumni Group Program
Experience abroad is often called a once in a lifetime opportunity. ProWorld wants to give our alumni a chance to do it again. Alumni will collaborate with ProWorld and our community hosts for a short term development project, get a chance to revisit the Sacred valley in Peru or see a different ProWorld site from their original program, go on cultural and adventure excursions, and immerse themselves in the culture one more time.
Project
- Cleaner burning stove installation
- Environmental conservation
- Additional projects selected by the community
The collaborative project will serve as the major component for an experiential and service based program and a chance for alumni to learn more about international development and the ProWorld model. Program fees help support ongoing development projects and include:
- Full room and board
