The deadline to apply for the Dobson Global Volunteer Service Program is March 31.

The international service program is designed for USC students and faculty who want to make a positive difference in the world. Participants have opportunities to work with children, the homeless, and other populations of people in need. Students who are selected for the Dobson Global Volunteer Service Program can receive up to 50 percent of the needed funding. Each application will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Dobson Executive Board. Applicants are required to demonstrate their dedication to the initiative by raising the remaining funds. All participants in the Global Volunteer Service Program and Local Volunteer Service Program are required to provide a minimum of 10 presentations to University students, civic groups, religious groups, and local schools about their service experience. To apply, submit a completed application and three recommendations. Application materials should be returned to the Office of the Director of Student Life, Russell House University Union, Suite 115.
