ObjectivesThe Global Stewardship Program was created for students wishing to explore a career working for international NGOs like Amnesty International, or domestic voluntary sector organizations like the United Way, while completing their first two years of university. Through a unique curriculum combining classroom study and volunteer work either overseas or in Canada, students gain the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to make the organizations they volunteer for more effective. They also develop excellent communication, organizational, and group management skills which are considered highly desirable by employers whatever career they choose.
