The College is looking for diverse, skillful, and talented students, faculty and staff of Healthcare, Aerospace, Trade, and Industry, Cybersecurity and Information Technology, Student Athletes, and members of the greater college community willing to spend time with children and the Orphanage’s schools to lead workshops, clinics, support projects, and more in a variety of technical topics.
While this is a non-credit opportunity, meaning students are not required to take coursework, the College is certain everyone involved can benefit from the experience of sharing their knowledge and skills and learning from international neighbors to become more empathetic global citizens. Likewise, faculty, staff, and students across the campus community can help to shape the Titan Spirit globally.

Travel, Health & Safety Requirements:

All participants must adhere to all policies and regulations regarding foreign travel by the U.S. Department of State and the Government of Honduras, as well as institutional travel policies outlined in the College’s Study Abroad Handbook, and the faith-based requirements of Orphanage Emmanuel regarding residency standards, behavior, attire, and participation in volunteer activities while on their grounds.
