Civic Engagement Opportunities
Many study away programs feature the opportunity for students to engage in community service during their semester or year away from campus. Below are some Oberlin Affiliated programs that offer civic engagement with academic study. Many other academic programs—both affiliated and non-affiliated—offer internship or service opportunities as well. This list represents opportunities during the academic year; summer programs may also be available.
