Serve and Learn Abroad

Ambassador Service Study (AmbaSS) is an adaptable, interdisciplinary service-study abroad curriculum that a high school or college student Ambassador uses and adapts to become a global citizen by designing and doing his/her own service-learning and independent study abroad, in collaboration with his/her team.  AmbaSS enriches student ambassadors and their teams of parents, friends, teachers, and community members through weekly, student-centered multimedia communiqués in a blog.  A short overview of AmbaSS is found at the “Scholarship” link in the  Resource document below: also found at http://bit.ly/3Uwhkgf

Some of you have been with Bernie, Service Synergy’s president since 1994, when she and her family went to Tepic to serve the Children’s home, their neighbors, and their friends.

We Begin

We are “official!”  Service Synergy’s non-profit paperwork is filed. The footwork began years ago in Tepic, and in Southern Oregon high schools. Now this fledgling website will be filling you in. The IRS has determined that we are tax exempt as of August 3, 2017. We await a few more teammates to step up, including a treasurer and advisors, both local and abroad.
