Description: Partnering programs are destined to promote partnerships between Nexos Voluntarios and other organizations. They have the same structure as the Field Experiences program model, in which individuals participate in work-intensive volunteering programs in their field of study, and the Program includes the same components as Field Experience. However, Partnering Program students receive discounted prices for their stays since they belong to institutions that have demonstrated consistent dedication towards Nexos Voluntarios by continuously sending volunteers to support us in our development efforts. McGill University is Nexos Voluntarios’ number one Partnering Programs partner to date.
