ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾

Through our partnership with Omprakash (), we help ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ students connect with social impact volunteer and internship opportunities in over 50 countries around the world, including within the US. Students can pursue these opportunities online or in-person, and at any time of year (e.g. as a full-time in-person commitment during the summer or winter break, or as a part-time online commitment during the semester).  

We encourage students to  to find opportunities that match their interests and availability. Students can apply for fellowships to support the costs of engaging in this work, but they are also welcome to pursue opportunities via Omprakash without joining any of our fellowship programs.

Through our partnership with Omprakash, we also offer an annual McKeen Center EdGE program which brings ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø±¬ÍøÕ¾ students together into a shared online space for learning, critical reflection, and creative storytelling to support their social impact work during the summer months.

Summer Fellowship recipients will be required to join this program, but it is also open to other students who want to reflect more deeply on their work. All participants will explore questions about the complexities of working for (and defining) the "Common Good" when crossing differences of culture and power, and will share their work in our final Digital Symposium in September.  All participants will earn a Certificate in Critical Approaches to the Common Good from Omprakash.
