Susquehanna’s team is part of an international nonprofit organization for students on more than 1600 college campuses in 40 countries that designs and implements projects to meet school and community needs. SIFE teams perform economic-based community service projects and present their projects at competitions.

Student Perspective:
“My participation in SIFE allows me to reach out to communities in need. I enjoy helping and teaching people, so it’s very rewarding to see children learning and understanding concepts from materials that I’ve developed. Not only are the students learning, but I’m learning too. I think that is what SIFE is all about.”
