Shoulder to Shoulder International Service-Learning Programs

Explore. Serve. Learn.

Lasell's Shoulder to Shoulder Programs could be right for you if you are looking to explore the world, serve local communities, and learn through service.

Shoulder to Shoulder is a cultural immersion and service-learning program in which Lasell students learn about various social justice issues within a global context. Students live in the style of their host community while learning and working shoulder to shoulder with local partners. Each of the five trips consists of approximately ten students and two faculty leaders who engage in academic coursework in addition to traveling to their chosen destination for 7-14 days. Each project shares the ultimate goal of connecting the local with the global and vice versa.

Student Profile

Patrick M. O'ConnorHospitality & Event Management with Minor in Law & Business, Class of 2012"I loved the small campus with a tight knit community where students and faculty can interact and build strong partnerships. I also love that we are right outside of Boston so we can travel into the city with ease anytime we want to."
