BRIGHT LIGHT VOLUNTEERS INTERNATIONAL

The goal is to provide safe, quality international service abroad programs that foster the development of global leaders and world citizens. By providing educational international service abroad to students, we create citizens who will continue to make the world a brighter place.

With the help of our University partner, students are enrolled in a college course, at a discounted tuition. This course prepares students by introducing them to the country's history, culture, and unique challenges. By taking part in this online course, we are reinforcing why it is so important that education, as well as first-hand knowledge, is the key to solving the world's problems. During their service program, students are guided by a local citizen. They take part in structured learning, as well as impromptu teaching moments as they serve. The students fulfill whatever service opportunity the community needs at the time. Some of the service initiatives our students have taken part in recently are beach plastic clean-up, farming, teaching, building and renovating school facilities, installing drinking wells, health clinics, and environmental conservation.

All of our program coordinators have many years' experience in traveling abroad and global service. We follow best practices through extensive research and strategic planning. Our University partner is fully accredited with a Global Studies department.

Since 2014, we have had over 600 volunteers serve abroad with us, most of them students. All of our students currently have a 100% college acceptance rate. Many of our students have pursued careers in international service, such as international law and global economics.
