Land Of The Hummingbird
Albany State University will host a four-week study abroad program at The University of West Indies (UWI), St. Augustine. Thousands of students across the Caribbean and beyond attend this university which is the region’s first and top choice for tertiary education.
With the Social Work in Trinidad and Tobago program, you’ll have the opportunity to work with local agencies that work with the local communities to provide support, resources, and service. Study abroad students may work with a children’s home, school for children with disabilities, or a family aid agency. This service learning in combination with lectures from UWI’s Social Work professors gives students a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
In addition to your service and studies, you’ll go zip-lining, cave tubing, spend a weekend in Tobago, and visit local cultural sites like Pitch Lake, Maracas Beach, Caroni Bird Sanctuary, and more.
