Two international orgs for Monday morning

It’s going to take me some time to get warmed up this Monday morning, so let’s start easy with two international organizations:

One: Study Abroad Alumni International

The purpose of this group is to “build a community of global citizens” among U.S. citizens who have studied abroad. SAAI is an “international membership organization consisting of alumni of some type of study abroad experience and others who actively support the study abroad experience.” This is a relatively new group, but Sherry is a member of the Advisory Board, so I would expect that many good things are imminent. (SAAI also has a LinkedIn.com group that might be worth getting on board with.)

Two: International Institute of Peace Through Tourism

Courtesy of Joanne Tay, IIPT is “a not for profit organization dedicated to fostering and facilitating tourism initiatives which contribute to international understanding and cooperation, an improved quality of environment, the preservation of heritage, and through these initiatives, helping to bring about a peaceful and sustainable world.” Internship and volunteer opportunities are available at the IIPT headquarters in Stowe, Vermont.
