Kellogg
Corps
Kellogg
Corps is a volunteer program for recent graduates of the
Kellogg School. Kellogg Corps places small teams of volunteers
on four- to six-week long consulting projects with non-profit
organizations in developing countries worldwide during the
summer after graduation.
Mission
Kellogg
Corps’ mission is to make opportunities available
for second year students to volunteer their time and energy
in bringing business skills and management expertise to non-profit
organizations in developing countries throughout the world.
The group’s
key goals are:
1) To
encourage recent Kellogg School graduates to take part in
an international volunteer experience
2) To
provide non-governmental organizations and non-profit enterprises
with skills and services that can make an impact and which
they could not otherwise afford
3) To
increase awareness throughout the world of the Kellogg School’s
role in promoting global citizenship through community development
History
Kellogg
Corps was founded in 1996 by four second year students who
initiated five service projects in the U.S. and abroad. So
far, Kellogg Corps has sent 230 Kellogg School volunteers
to close to 30 developing countries.
Example
Project
In 2005,
Kellogg Corps sent a team of five to Tibet to work with Kham
Aid on creating a business plan on Tibetan handicraft. The
volunteers on this project were Brandon Davito '05, Cherie
Yu '05, Kameron Rezai '05, Liz Henning '05 and Rachael Lester
'05. The Kham Aid Foundation was founded in 1997 by Pamela
Logan to support conservation of Tibet's architecture and
art.
