AmeriSpan's
responsibility is two-fold.
On one hand, we are
responsible to the
organizations that are
accepting the
volunteers/interns. We have
promised them people who
fulfill specified minimum
requirements and who will
provide certain services for
an agreed upon amount of
time. For this reason, our
reputation and the future of
our program is dependent on
each volunteer/intern we
send.
On the other hand, we are also
responsible to the people
who we are sending abroad to
fill these positions. We
promise a prearranged
quality placement based on
an agreement with the
organization. Therefore, we
are also responsible that
obligations be met by the
host organization.
Our Volunteer/Internship
placements are a coordinated
effort between AmeriSpan,
our partner schools and the
individual organizations in
need of assistance (in the
case of Student Service
Coordinators and ESL
placements, the organization
is actually our partner
school).
To help ensure that everyone gets
what he/she bargained for,
AmeriSpan will be actively
involved should any problems
arise during the course of
your placement.
Is Academic Credit Available?

credit for your placement and/or language
classes prior to the program. More
