Welcome To East Asia!
Welcome To East Asia!
Our Summer Internship is 2 months of hands-on learning and cross-cultural experience. The format includes three phases:
Introductions and Preparation in our Host City, for about two weeks.
Field Assignment in a Second City with a Service Project, for about four weeks.
Debrief and Integration back in our Host City, for about two weeks.
Specific dates are still being worked out - but as of now, you can prepare for the two months of June and July, 2026.
For more information, contact one of our Coaches. Applications are due on 1 February 2026 to give you time to prepare for the summer.
We know you have so many practical questions. Keep checking this website as we update info - and reach out to a Coach Today! Choose the LINK below that best suits you! Thank you.
What is Your Big Question?
What is Your Big Question?
Innov-Asia is an opportunity to explore life and service in the variety of cultural contexts of Asia. We want our program to give you space to explore your Big Question/s.
For some individuals, that is as specific as, can I eat rice every day? For others, it might be focused on can I learn a language or what can I learn about Buddhism or Islam? For some, the Big Question is more about being ready to step out of your comfort zone.
Whatever your Big Question is, we want you to bring it and to explore finding the answer. It is one of the key ingredients that sets Innov-Asia a part from other summer programs: our goal is to give you the opportunity to work around your vision and question.
We will walk with you as we explore together:
Learning about your own culture
Learning how to enter into a new culture
Exploring the value of cultures themselves in the story of life
