The 2nd program "International Capstone: Spain,Society & Culture is a 6 credit (4 weeks long) Service Learning course that is designed to provide an opportunity to learn about Spanish culture and society by means of immersion with a partner social service based organization (also non profit) in the province of Zamora, in the region of Castilla y León, Spain. Students learn about Spanish culture as they work in teams to help lead organized and established activities. By doing so, they will also gain awareness of the special needs of marginalized citizens, specifically at risk youths (13-17yrs) with limited resources and education. They will acquire the knowledge and the skills necessary to engage fully with the participants and collaborate with the service site in order to better existing programs and help create new activities as directed by the community partner.

This is a PSU Senior Capstone course but students from other universities are welcome to enroll.
