Yale Alumni Service Corps – Service Trips

2017 Service Trip to Serra Grande, Bahia, Brazil

The Yale Alumni Service Corps is delighted to announce an innovative Service Trip to Serra Grande, an underserved community located in the state of Bahia on the southeastern coast of Brazil, an area that is considered to have the third greatest biodiversity in the world. Serra Grande is an oasis of breathtaking natural beauty, significant biodiversity, and abundant natural resources but as with many underserved communities around the world, this does not translate into economic resources for its residents.

This is a unique opportunity to work alongside other volunteers who are passionate and interested in innovative and sustainable work in underserved communities. Building on the success of the projects undertaken by 73 YASC volunteers this past March, we will team up with incredible ground partner organizations, which have formal educational and research collaborations with the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, to enhance project integration and community involvement with our volunteers.

Yale Law School Latin American Linkage Program

The Linkage Program in Brazil is a collaborative effort with the Universidade de São Paulo and FGV Direito in São Paulo and the Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro and FGV Direito in Rio de Janeiro. The main goal of the program is to promote better understanding of the relationship between law and democratic values in the United States and Latin America. The four-week program is divided into two weeks in São Paulo and two in Rio de Janeiro.

Linkages students have worked on a wide variety of projects in Brazil, including publication of law journals, development of academic and scholarly programs and seminars, and conducting research for NGOs involved with human rights issues. In the past students have also combined Linkages with other activities, including empirical research on elections and corruption and an internship on the Brazilian Supreme Court. Although attending group activities is mandatory, activities which usually involve meetings, visits, and tours, there is much room for independent research. 

First-, second-, third-year and graduate students are invited to apply. Intermediate Portuguese and a 4-week commitment is required. Participants are generally hosted by Brazilian law students. Link to application

Global Network for Advanced Management

Our mission is to drive innovation and create value by connecting leading global business schools, their resources, and their stakeholders.

Launched in 2012, the Global Network for Advanced Management includes 32 leading business schools from diverse regions, countries, cultures, and economies in different phases of development. A common motivation of member schools to connect is to position their students, faculty, staff, alumni and other constituencies so that they can deepen their understanding of differences and commonalities in their economies and increase their effectiveness. Member schools recognize that leaders in all sectors will be asked to contribute to the solutions of major problems that are typically complex and global.

Representing a shift beyond traditional partnership models of business school collaboration, the Global Network enables the development of innovative initiatives that leverage the schools’ comparative advantages. Leveraging network efficiencies, utilizing new technologies, building strong institutional and personal relationships, and operating with a minimum of bureaucracy, the Global Network is having a transformational effect on students, member schools, management education, and beyond.   

FGV Escola de Administração de Empresas de São Paulo is the Global Network member school in Brazil.
