Do you want to get work experience in a Spanish speaking environment? Are you interested in giving back to the community and in developing skills associated with specific sectors (e.g. education, public health, human rights, environmental justice)?
The Global Poverty and Practice (GPP) Minor, in association with the Spanish Department and the UC Education Abroad Program is offering the opportunity to complete the GPP minor with an internship in Mexico or Chile through the UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP).
Students will take core GPP Minor classes (in Fall 2018) and “Spanish 102C: Volunteering, Global Education and Good Writing” in the Spanish Department (in Spring 2019 with Amelia Barili) at UC Berkeley to prepare for an EAP program in Mexico or Chile. While abroad, students will complete an internship with a poverty-focused organization to fulfill their minor practice experience requirement, as well as take courses (in Spanish) focused on the history, culture, and politics of the country they select--which will fulfill a GPP elective requirement.
Students are eligible for financial aid while studying abroad.
