Projects Abroad
Until 1997, Projects Abroad was a small organization with just two part time
staff sending university students to teach English in Eastern Europe. But
with more and more people taking time out on academic and work-related
breaks, and with many developing countries in need of self-funded volunteers,
our organized volunteer programs started to mushroom around the world. Our
volunteers can still teach English in Eastern Europe, but can also do many
other types of work in many other places.

The Deep River Science Academy
The Deep River Science Academy is a not-for-profit private school founded in
1986. Our program takes high school students out of the classroom and places
them in real-life high-tech laboratories immersing the student in a science
career. Our students must write a research paper and give an overview of
their research to their peers and interested scientists before graduating
with 2 academic credits.Not only do students learn from their experience,
they make a real contribution to the research itself. Our research projects
range from chemistry, physics, biology and life sciences and incorporate
aspects of engineering and technology.
