Upcoming Website Maintenance

Early this Monday morning U.S. Central Time the IES Abroad website will undergo scheduled maintenance. During this time some or all features of the site - like login and account creation - will be unavailable, but we expect this disruption to be brief. Thank you for your patience.

Interested in giving back to the local community while you study abroad?

Whether you’re studying on one of our programs that highlight our Global Good Commitment or are simply interested in giving back to a local community, our programs with community-based learning are a perfect fit.

Programs with a community-based learning option combine coursework with volunteer work so you can immerse yourself into the local community while you develop professional and personal skills. From your part-time volunteer placement to the for-credit community-based learning seminar, you'll learn from international practices, make connections, improve your foreign language and communication skills, and more.
