America’s Unofficial Ambassadors 2014 Summer Service Programs
Volunteer with the America’s Unofficial Ambassadors 2014 Summer Service Internship programs! Make a difference, represent America, earn academic credit, and gain hands-on professional experience in Indonesia, Morocco, Tajikistan, or Zanzibar.
This summer, America’s Unofficial Ambassadors will offer service internship programs in the Muslim World that provide unique opportunities for students to develop their professional skills; study a foreign language; refine their career interests; and earn academic credit. Unofficial ambassadors intern with schools and community-based organizations that are serving vital human development needs at the grassroots level. In the process, they form the type of people-to-people partnerships that are the future of international relations, and specifically America’s relationship with the Muslim World. You will enter the vanguard of a new generation of citizen diplomats by serving as an unofficial ambassador and then bringing the experience home through blog posts and community presentations.
Serving as an Unofficial Ambassador
In addition to volunteering full-time for six weeks, our unofficial ambassadors study the local language and learn about the culture and history of their host countries. Importantly, they share their experiences through regular blogs and when they return home, they give presentations in their communities to build mutual understanding between America and the Muslim World at the grassroots level. Summer 2014 volunteer opportunities include:
- Teaching English and basic computer skills to grade school and high school students
- Designing websites and supporting NGOs with their social media and outreach
- Producing video documentaries on human rights, education and environmental initiatives
- Researching and writing proposals and reports for NGOs
About AUA
America’s Unofficial Ambassadors is a citizen diplomacy initiative, which builds mutual understanding and enhances people-to-people partnerships between America and the Muslim World. We do this by placing Americans in volunteer positions in the Muslim World and helping them share their experiences upon their return.
