Community Engagement: Service Immersion in Greece

Hellenic American University located in Athens, Greece, is walking distance from the Acropolis, Parliament, ancient Greek and Roman agoras, and the first modern Olympic stadium. Greece, the birthplace of democracy and cradle of western civilization, offers extraordinary opportunities for a rich learning experience, while also being a vibrant modern metropolis which remains, affordable, safe and friendly.

The Global Service-Learning Program at Hellenic American University provides students with the opportunity to explore important social justice issues, including immigration and refugee resettlement in Greece. Faculty from Hellenic American University will offer lectures and discussions about current social initiatives supporting these causes and students will spend time learning and serving alongside local nonprofit organizations. Cultural activities include traditional Greek dance lessons, cooking demonstrations and visits to landmarks throughout the city.

The program fee includes airfare and on-ground transportation, accommodation, day trip to Delphi, guest lectures, guided tours, tickets to all archaeological sites and select meals.
