Joining an IDS Project

While we are able to link IDS participants with international workers to develop new projects, those IDS participants joining existing projects do so with the understanding that the project goals have already been defined, and we do not expect participants to try and alter the existing projects. You are there to learn, share and experience, but not to help project alter its already set goal.

Who can apply 

• Individuals who have an interest in enriching their lives with experience in international work. 
• Individuals who seek to feel and experience the cultural life at grassroots level. 
• Individuals who believe that learning is a two-way process. 
• Individuals can come to us from a variety of backgrounds and with different goals. 

You may be 

• a doctor, nurse, or other health professional interested in learning about sustainable community development; 
• a graduate student in economics, public health, or development studies planning to do research abroad or some one who seeks the experience to be involved in work in other countries;
• a professional with experience in education, agriculture, or business hoping to gain experience in the international field.
