Alumni
Now that you’ve traveled abroad, learned something new, experienced a different culture, helped create sustainable development, and changed personally, what’s next? If you have just come back what’s next may be “reverse culture shock” or wondering how to apply your experiences.
If you’ve been back for a while maybe you are wondering how your project is doing or maybe you are considering a career in international development or maybe you want to come back to ProWorld.
Contact ProWorld to find out more about any of the information below.
Update
ProWorld is running an alumni program this summer to give you a chance to do it all one more time.
Reentry
Coming home from time abroad can be a challenging and difficult time, and it can also be the time when you learn the most from your cross-cultural experience. Re-entry can be defined as the often unexpected and sometime difficult experience of re-adjusting to life in one's home culture after living abroad. Some returnees do not find re-entry to be difficult; however, most returnees experience some degree of stress upon returning home. Re-entry is different for everyone, just as your experience abroad was unique and special. ProWorld has tips and documents on re-adjusting to your home culture.
Your Resume and Job Opportunities
ProWorld can help you demonstrate some of these desirable skills on your resume, in your cover letter, and in job interviews. Even if your career goals at the moment are focused domestically, you can still promote the transferable skills that you have gained while with ProWorld.
ProWorld also has an extensive list of work, internship, scholarship, and volunteer opportunities for you to explore both domestically and internationally.

Visit our Blogs page to find your project and see how it is progressing. You can also post comments to the blogs to help volunteers in their work.
