Volunteer Abroad

Global Impact is an international service-learning opportunity open to Seattle Colleges students, faculty, and staff, as well as to healthcare professionals, educators, and members of the broader community. Global Impact collaborates with medical, educational, and service-orientated organizations delivering global health-related volunteer service in developing countries.

Global Impact provides travel opportunities beyond locations typical to those studying abroad. Between our three campuses, Seattle Colleges has dozens of allied health programs. Healthcare professionals and community members have demonstrated interest and experience in volunteering time and expertise in the developing world.

Our volunteers develop skills and grow in awareness and appreciation in the following areas:

• Cultural and socio-economic diversity
• Effective communication with non-native English speakers
• How to provide services to non-western populations, including adaptation to culture and values
• How to triage
• The value of lifelong service to the local and global community
