Earn College Credit

Academic Credit

ERDT is not able to provide direct academic credit to participants, but does

take a supervisory role for students whose schools/colleges allow them to

gain credit for participating an ERDT volunteer program.

Attached is a copy of a Learning Contract for a ERDT participant from

Evergreen State College, Olympia, WA, where ERDT verifies the required

objectives and performance of evaluations necessary for the participant to

gain academic credit on completion of the program (teaching English to

underprivileged youth in Turkey).

 We'll work with you to apply for credit.

Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima. Eodem modo typi, qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari, fiant sollemnes in futurum.

Retired & Ready

Volunteering abroad is not just for the young.  It's also for the young at heart.

With people living longer and enjoying better health, retirement has provided many seniors with time to devote to causes and interests that have previously taken a backseat to careers or family obligations.

Active retirees like teachers, managers, accountants, surgeons, health workers reach retirement age and aren’t ready to put their feet up. They are looking for opportunities to bring their extensive knowledge to programs where many cultures, deeply value their maturity and skills.

Retirees come back from their experiences refreshed, motivated, more resourceful and confident.  Golfing, gardening and holidays—don’t compare with an opportunity to travel and experience another culture first hand.  

Schedule a consultation to discuss your ideal project, destination start date and project length.
