Global Studies in the Schools Internship Program

The Institute for Global Studies at the University of Minnesota is home to over 350 undergraduate students studying world languages, international relations, and regions of the world to include Africa, East Asia, South Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Many of these students have experience traveling, studying, and volunteering abroad and like to share their experiences with students in K-12 classrooms.

Types of Internship Responsibilities:

  • After-School Programs - Students can assist with after-school programming or international clubs.
  • Guest Speaking Engagements - Students can speak to your class and share stories and photos from their study abroad experiences.
  • Assist with Teacher Research - Students can help you identify readings, films, music and other tools to teach units specific to international lessons.
