You will live in an environment based on community. We grow our food, cook, clean, and run the school as a collective. As you train to become a Development Instructor you will be challenged to stretch your mind and understanding of the world, while you learn about empowering the poor to create a sustainable future. The 18 month program has four periods: Period One: 3 Months - You will start your preparation at campus. You will learn about the forces that run the world, the big issues of our time, and the riches & potentials of the world. Period Two: 3 Months - You will study the new technologies shaping the future & expectations for the future. Period Three: 6 Months - You will be assigned to a development project of Humana People to People, where you will work together with the poor.
