Goshen College

Goshen College’s Study – Service Team (SST) is a unique program. Founded as a program dedicated to something beyond the usual “study abroad” experience, joining an SST team means serving a local community and total cultural immersion. SST is a 13-week program, divided into two distinct parts. During the first half of the semester students will stay with local families while studying culture and language alongside other Goshen students and group leaders. During the second half of the term, students will spread out and move to a more remote area to begin their work on a volunteer service project dedicated to helping the local village. SST has been an integral part of Goshen since 1968 and has served more than 7700 students.
