Greek America Foundation Service Learning Program<\/strong>
\nService Learning is an initiative of the Greek America Foundation that aims to engage North American college students and young professionals in volunteer programs in Greece. Our program fulfills a dual purpose: students are immersed into contemporary Greek life while they simultaneously volunteer their time for important humanitarian causes and make a lasting impact. The inaugural program took place during the summer of 2017 in Athens, Greece.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to a partnership with the Hellenic American University, the Greek America Foundation is able to grant\u00a03 college credits<\/em>\u00a0for participation in our service learning program for an extra fee of $360 total. Hellenic American University is accredited through the New England Commission on Higher Education and these credits are recognized by U.S. institutions of higher learning. Students are responsible for checking with their home institutions about transfer of credits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scholarships covering all program fees will be offered to approximately 16 students. Airfare to Greece is not covered by scholarship funds.<\/span><\/p>\n
