Lea Levy - CONNECT-123: Internship & Volunteer Placements

International students and graduates are linked with local organizations in Buenos Aires (and Cape Town) to provide free, skilled resources for concrete projects (which we often help define) while students gain real-world work experience. Services are free to local organizations: businesses, financial firms, non-profits, schools, research institutes, and health care clinics etc. Screened applicants work as unpaid volunteers for 2 to 6 months, and we provide logistical requirements prior to and during their stay. To date, we've worked with students from over 280 universities and expect more than 350 international students in 2010.
