France: Language, Community, and Social Change

Community Service Project (CSP)

The CSP is a field-based project, which provides students an opportunity to critically examine a topic, community, or situation related to social change in France. Students are able to work on their projects utilizing SIT's broad network of individual and nonprofit organization contacts. A successful CSP expands language immersion and community involvement while giving back to the student's host community.
