Service Component

Each student-run Cross Cultural Education and Service project culminates when the students act upon the knowledge they gained through the educational component. This service component has two aspects: community development and clinical and public health.

Community Development: The communities that the Cross Cultural Education and Service projects work with usually do not have the resources available to adequately construct needed facilities. The Community Development Team works closely with Bridges to Community and URACCAN students to identify the need of the local community, and with the help of the community members, construct the facilities.

Clinical and Public Health: Again, the communities that the Cross Cultural Education and Service projects work with are usually under-resourced in terms of medical equipment and knowledge. Our projects aim to provide health care and medicine as well as attempt to educate the community on public health issues like personal hygiene, endemic health problems, and infectious diseases such as malaria and AIDS.
