Are you a student passionate about social entrepreneurship
& international development? Do you love business and would you like to put
your business skills into a great use at the same time? If yes, we are looking
for you!
Each year, Sauder Africa Initiative (now entering 8th
year of operation) selects enthusiastic, creative, and dedicated group of
students to help combat extreme poverty in Kenyan slums and spend an incredible
summer teaching the Kenyan youth.
The program is open to anyone who wishes to get involved and
make new friendships which are going to last a lifetime. If you cannot travel
to Kenya, no worries. We are recruiting for two dedicated groups of students:
- Vancouver-based team who will help support the travelling team through fundraising, curriculum development, mentoring, communications, and other tasks as needed.
- Traveling team who will deliver a three-week program based in Nairobi, to help Kenyan youth develop business plans.
For the traveling team, the 2013 project will be held in Kenya
for three weeks in August 2013 and will be conducted in partnership with Kenyan
youth organizations and Strathmore University.
Applications for Sauder Africa Initiative - Kenya 2013 are now being accepted until 11:59PM, December 10th, 2012. You can find the application here: https://secure.sauder.ubc.ca/africa/africa_applications/
