Volunteer in Ecuador through the Quito Project -- Mass Meetings throughout September!

Buen día,

Are you looking for an international volunteer experience?

Do you speak Spanish proficiently and want to improve your language skills?

Do you have an interest in teaching, children, community development, or social justice?

Do you want an eye-opening experience?

Do you want to meet and work closely with other motivated U-M undergrads, med students, public health students, social work students as well as Ecuadorian students and professionals?

Look no farther than The Quito Project, a University of Michigan-sponsored program that sends students and professionals to work with the under-served community of San Martín in southern Quito, Ecuador.

As a member of the education component of the project, you will provide individualized academic support to students in grades 1-6 in math as well as Spanish literacy. Beyond this academic context, you serve as both a role model and friend to the students with whom you work.

The Quito Project is a well-established program that has provided a once-in-a-lifetime experience to hundreds of U-M students over the past decade. Alumni have gone on to Teach for America, The Fulbright Scholar Program, UM Law School, UM Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, Columbia University School of Social Work, Partners in Health (Socios en
Salud) and a host of other international volunteer organizations.

We hope that you will be able to attend one of the following mass meetings scheduled for early September. Also, don't forget to check out The Quito Project's website at www.thequitoproject.org.

Conor
