Opportunities
Focus on the Americas
This IAP, we encourage students to work with communities in our own hemisphere, from Grise Fiord at the top of Canada, to Ushuaia in Tierra Del Fuego (and the warmer areas in between!) You can find project ideas listed here, or develop your own project with a community whose needs you understand, and apply to the PSC for support.
For this IAP, the PSC will give preference to projects in this geographical area.
