FOR CLASSES, TEAMS, CLUBS AND STUDENTS
Programs for university groups
FFI works with university staff and students on learning experiences that connect leadership, community and practical responsibility.
A class may want to explore a subject through service and reflection. A sports team may want to strengthen how members communicate. A club may be looking for a useful way to contribute.
Start with the learning goal and the people involved. The format, location, activities and cost can then be planned with FFI.

International exchanges
In 2019, FFI worked with the University of New Hampshire men’s hockey team on a program spanning several months in the United States and Northern Ireland.
The program combined learning about the Northern Ireland conflict, volunteering with young people from Belfast, and workshops exploring identity.
It is one example of how a university partnership can connect a team’s development with encounters and questions beyond its usual setting.

FFI’s university work has included campus volunteering, program preparation and English-language activities with university volunteers. The team can discuss what would be useful now.
