SUMMER LEADERSHIP THAILAND provides an unparalleled opportunity to engage in a meaningful volunteer internship in one of the most beautiful countries in Southeast Asia. Despite being among the most developed nations in the region, Thailand is a country with great economic inequality. The two-week program engages participants in various community based development programs that directly benefit the residents of Bangkok's largest urban slum, Klong Toey. In conjunction with a local non-governmental organization, participants have the choice to work in a community health center, to teach at a local primary school or to help street children, among other challenging volunteer activities. Participants will extensively interact with Klong Toey's warm and inspiring people. The program also introduces its participants to Thailand's rich cultural heritage through excursions to ancient Buddhist temples and monasteries, relaxation gardens and night markets. Participants will spend the last few days of the program on the country's stunning tropical coast lining the Gulf of Thailand, undergoing intense leadership training to empower participants to learn more about themselves, to think critically about their experience and discover how they can change the world. Summer Leadership Thailand is for anyone interested in community service, adventure and personal discovery: a life-changing experience!
