The Yale Alumni Service Corps has nailed down the dates for two of its three trips for 2013. Next year, YASC will be heading to Nicaragua, West Virginia and Ghana. The Ghana dates will be set soon, but the others are in ink. Here are the details:
Nicaragua: We will be going to a small community near Leon, Nicaragua from March 16-24. Volunteers can help provide medical care, build buildings, work in the local school and perhaps a few other areas. The planning for the trip is well under way. You will be able to sign up soon -- we will let you know when. Space will be limited, so you should sign up as quickly as you can.
Here is a video that shows you what happened on the YASC trip this year:
West Virginia: We will be heading to West Virginia June 26-30 to work with College Summit to help kids learn about their college options. Teach kids about the application process (College Summit will help get participants ready), help with essays, get students used to interviewing and help them understand what getting a college degree might mean for them. Space is limited on this trip, too, so keep an eye out for sign ups.
Here is a video that explains a bit about College Summit -- featuring fellow Yale Alum and College Summit founder J.B. Schramm.
