Potential
volunteers have two options to apply for the program:
College
Credit Program
The
program will provide options for participants to earn credits
in areas such as international development, social service, nature
conservation, teaching, anthropology and public health. One credit
hour can be earned for each week of participation, up to a maximum
of 6 semester credit hours.
This
is an independent and self-directed learning project. Participants
will be required to submit a journal about their activities. Extra
credit can be earned through independent studies, provided that
students produce a research paper about one aspect of what they
learned in the village. All journals and papers must be submitted
to the Office of International Education Office, University of
Nebraska at Kearney.

Non-Credit
Program
The
non-credit program is designed to offer opportunities for those
people from different walks of life other than academics.
For those who do not want to earn college credit, please email
Dr. Leonard
Skov (email: skovl@unk.edu ) for the application
form and other details. The primary purpose of the application
process is to help select volunteers whose skills and experiences
will be helpful in the village and whose goals for their time
in Nepal can be met through the activities available. All participants
must pay a fee of $35 when submitting the application form to
defray administrative costs.
