In addition to the specific academic learning goals of the program, the program has been designed to foster mutual understandings, cross-cultural dialogues, and new relationships between the participants and their counterparts in the U.S. This is a temporary, special payroll position.
- Program staff live in Hilltop Apartments and help coordinate evening and weekend activities for 20 college student leaders from North Africa during the 4-week exchange program.

- Lodging, meals, and all travel costs will be paid during the five-week program, which is scheduled for July 7 – August 10, 2018. Program staff may have the option of working just the first four weeks (based at UConn), or participating in all five weeks (including going on the one week study tour to New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington DC).
- Compensation for full time staff is $2,400 for four weeks or $3,000 for five weeks. Part-time staff compensation will be negotiated based on work schedule agreed upon by both parties.
- Applicants should have a valid U.S. driver’s license and be interested in working with University student leaders from North Africa and learning about social entrepreneurship.
