About The Program

The BYU Romania internship is a service learning program associated with the School of Family Life. The program prepares students to work with children in a small orphanage in Eastern Romania. Students live in Iasi (pronounced yawsh) Romania and work for 6 hours a day with children with special needs and developmental disorders in an orphanage and a children's hospital. The experience is rewarding and culturally immersing. You will make a lasting impact on many children's lives. For more information please come to one of our posted information meetings and explore some of the posts on this blog. For application please go to http://kennedy.byu.edu/isp/isp.php?id=141
