This is a pilot program that was launched summer of 2008 as a result of a generous gift from the Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation and the Daniels Foundation. This program is designed to enable PLP students who are studying abroad to further their citizen leadership training within a global context by serving in community-based organizations abroad. Any student participating in a Cherrington Scholars program at DU is eligible to apply for a small stipend to help augment any costs related to local service in their city of residence for study abroad.
PLP currently had 16 students engaged in global service this year. Their countries included:
- Spain
- China
- Turks and Caicos
- Thailand
- Melbourne, Australia
- Dominican Republic
- Bologna, Italy
- Melbourne, Australia
- Gold Coast, Australia
