Whether you're a student, a professional, or a retiree, there is a wide world to explore, with endless opportunities to learn. Welcome to ELI, a non-profit organization that creates volunteer, internship, and study abroad opportunities for the globally-minded who don't want to travel as mere tourists. These are experiences that go beyond the ordinary.

For volunteers, our placements are not tours or pre-fabricated programs. As an ELI volunteer, you will make a difference in the communities and projects you choose to join. You will help to create bonds between people and nations by sharing their skills and in turn deepen their own understanding of our world.

For interns, we arrange positions with local businesses, facilitating crucial international experience that makes you a more interesting candidate for future employers and graduate schools.  

For study abroad, we target schools where you will study side by side with students of the host country, integrating into campus life, rather than being separated out into a program for foreign students.

No other travel experience can offer so much. Whether you have a year to spare, or just two weeks, we have a program that's right for you, priced to meet even the modest budget, and backed by outstanding in-country support.

If you're ready for the world, ELI is ready for you.
